The one thing you can count on other than death and taxes is that Brighton injuries take longer than the original timeframe. Gruda came with a 'minor niggle' and hasn't been sighted on the pitch nearly two months later!
New doctors not wanting to rush things. Given the attacking talent we have no point in rushing Gruda.

As you say, we don’t need to rush Gruda or March back but if they are available….

Looks like we are down to 3 long term injuries now. But, they happen to be this season’s best centre back, best striker, and potentially our best centre midfielder (I just watched an O’Riley showreel and his habit of finding top bins and shooting to the left of the keeper when he is expecting a shot to the right is mind blowing!).

It’s going to be very interesting to see who misses out on the squad when the injured three return. Some big names such as Enciso, Ferguson, Igor and Webster could find making the squad a huge challenge alongside the likes of Moder and Lamptey of course.

Questions.

So are we getting those tweets because Fab is in a press conference? The pic suggests yes, but it's a bit earlier than usual isn’t it? Or is it that the journo’s are there for the conference later and they’ve been given a bit of info early?

Why are the conference not possible to follow live? (Or are they?) Is it because the club wants to make sure that Fab doesn’t spill the beans on something confidential? Do other clubs take a similar approach? Or is it more that the club wants to allow the journo’s to present the info in some kind of quid pro quo “report on us nicely and we’ll keep up your privileged access to team injury news” in place?

Normally 09.00 either the day before or two days before the match I think and I guess as it's a long way to travel it's 2 days this time. They normally release the conference a couple of hours later on YouTube. I guess it could be live but it probably works well for all parties as you say for there to be a slight delay.

Hürzeler likes to do his press conferences 2 days before the match at 9am. De Zerbi used to do his at 1pm the day before the game.

In looking in this some more, the Argus website also suggests Adingra and Rutter are both avaiable

Any news on Webster's actual injury? Stated as long term, however long that is?! :shrug:I guess its months more than weeks.
Is it hamstring, thigh or knee? Not heard any conclusive reports to where the problem is.

I can’t answer this.
