Brighton & Hove Albion manager Fabian Hürzeler has delivered an encouraging update, confirming that Nigerian forward Sadiq Azeez is fully fit, sharp in training, and firmly in contention to make his long-awaited Premier League debut for the Seagulls.
Speaking during his pre-match press conference ahead of Brighton’s upcoming league fixture, Hürzeler addressed squad fitness and cast the spotlight on the talented young prospect. Azeez had previously faced a brief spell on the sidelines managing minor fitness concerns following his integration into the south-coast club’s setup, but the German tactician revealed that those hurdles have now been successfully cleared.
The manager praised the youngster’s rapid adaptation to the intensity of English football, noting that his work ethic behind closed doors has thoroughly impressed the technical staff.
“Sadiq has worked extremely hard during his rehabilitation. He shows great hunger in training, understands our tactical demands, and is physically ready to help the team. He is definitely in the mix for the matchday squad,” Hürzeler stated.
For Nigerian football fans and followers of the club, the prospect of seeing Azeez pull on the blue and white stripes in competitive action adds an extra layer of excitement to the weekend fixtures as Brighton looks to stamp its authority in the top flight.
