EPL: Hurzeler urges patience as Azeez awaits Brighton debut

Brighton and Hove Albion manager, Fabian Hurzeler, has said the club must be patient with Femi Azeez, DAILY POST reports.

The Nigeria international is yet to make his competitive debut for the Seagulls following his deadline-day arrival from Sky Bet Championship club, Millwall.

Azeez arrived with a minor hamstring injury he picked up on opening day of the season while in action for Millwall.

The winger has reportedly made progress in his recovery and featured for Brighton in a friendly during the last international break.

Speaking ahead of tonight's UEFA Conference League encounter against Jablonec, Hurzeler revealed the 25-year-old is not ready for action yet.

"With Femi, again we have to be patient with him. It's not quite clear how long it will take. It seems to be not a big issue, but therefore we have to be patient," the gaffer told a press conference.
