Fabian Hurzeler on Solly: "I wouldn't say close. So if you're injured for that long time, it's a long way back, but he has made a great impression. He's going step-by-step. He's now training fully with us. We are all impressed how good he is already after his long injury. It's now about not putting pressure on him. It's about helping him, giving him a good environment where he can adapt quickly. He's very, very professional."

Another injury blow for Brighton ahead of Ipswich Town – 4 out and 5 doubts.

All the latest team and injury news for Brighton and Hove Albion and across the Premier League
Brighton head coach Fabian Hurzeler has numerous injury issues ahead of their return to Premier League action against Ipswich Town at the Amex Stadium tomorrow.

The Seagulls have started the season well with seven points from their first three matches, following wins against Everton and Manchester United, plus a draw at Arsenal just prior to the international break.

Fabian Hurzeler on Solly: "I wouldn't say close. So if you're injured for that long time, it's a long way back, but he has made a great impression. He's going step-by-step. He's now training fully with us. We are all impressed how good he is already after his long injury. It's now about not putting pressure on him. It's about helping him, giving him a good environment where he can adapt quickly. He's very, very professional."

Kieran McKenna’s newly-promoted Ipswich Town team will pose another new challenge for Hurzeler but first he must assess who is fit and who needs more time on the sidelines. One player who has been ruled out to face Ipswich is midfielder James Milner, who tweaked his hamstring in the 1-1 draw at Arsenal.

“James had a scan,” said the German head coach. “It’s not a big issue. If it will be like two weeks, three weeks or only one week. We have to be patient, we have to go day-by-day.”

Here’s a full list of Albion injuries and fitness doubts ahead of Saturday’s 3pm kick-off…
