Fabian Hurzeler expects Femi Azeez and Georginio Rutter to return for Coventry

Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler stated that Femi Azeez and Georginio Rutter could be available for Sunday's match against Coventry City. Azeez, a new signing, has been sidelined by a hamstring injury that kept him out of last week’s 1-1 draw with Leeds. Rutter is also nearing a return following a foot problem and a brief setback in his recovery process. While both players are expected to train with the squad this week, the club remains without Kaoru Mitoma, who is unavailable until at least October. Several other Brighton players including Mats Wieffer, Jack Hinshelwood, Yankuba Minteh, Stefanos Tzimas, and Evan Ferguson are also currently unavailable. Hurzeler intends to monitor the pair through training sessions this week before confirming their inclusion in the squad for the upcoming trip.
