  3. Hurzeler on Gruda's fitness, early form and facing Chelsea

    Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge (kick-off 15:00 BST).

    Here are the key lines from his news conference:

    • On team news after a couple of injuries: "Some positive news, Mats Wieffer is back, as is Maxim De Cuyper. Jack [Hinshelwood] is still out so overall we have some options, especially regarding our full-backs, so good news."

    • Hurzeler says Brajan Gruda and Yankuba Minteh "will be fine" after recovering from injuries.

    • The Seagulls' boss spoke about having five points from five games: "We are unhappy with the results but in the end we can't focus on the results. It's about the process and focusing on the development and focusing on us. I am sure we will get the result sooner or later. It's important not to overreact."

    • On if it will help his team if Cole Palmer is unavailable for Chelsea: "We can't influence if he's playing or not. It's important to focus on our game and focus on how we want to play. If he's starting, he's a game changer for them [Chelsea]. He is one of the best Premier League players. He's got a special left foot. He can decide a game in one action."

    • Discussing the prospect of facing Club World Cup Winners Chelsea, Hurzeler added: "It's about defending as a team, as a unit, but it's not about only defending, it's also about playing our style of play. If you go there trying only to defend you won't have a chance."

    • Brighton will face former striker Joao Pedro and Hurzeler commented: "Joao was a special player for us and it's not easy to replace him one-to-one but we did it as team and we did it quite well. There's always a process, new players have to step in, new young players with big potential have to step in. They have to prove themselves every weekend that they are ready for that but they need time."

    • Hurzeler added: "Second thing, of course, Joao is a special player. He proved it already at Chelsea in the first [few] games. He played well. He scored goals. He's very good in possession. He is a game changer for them. We have to defend as a team, as a unit. I'm sure we are capable of doing that."
