Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler has been speaking to the media before Thursday's Conference League game against Getafe at Estadio Coliseum (kick-off 20:00 GMT).

Hurzeler confirmed Ferdi Kadioglu, Pascal Struijk and Femi Azeez will not be available to feature in the Conference League fixture due to their respective injuries.

He added: "They're getting closer, especially Femi. Regarding Ferdy, we still have a big hope that he might be ready for Sunday. And with Pascal Struijk, we have to go day by day."

The Seagulls boss expects a "tough opponent" and said the La Liga outfit is a "team that knows how to win".

Los Azulones sit 13th in the Spanish top flight, but are currently ranked 30th in the Conference League after picking up one point from their opening three league phase games.

Hurzeler added: "It's a team that plays quite vertical, long balls, second balls, [who are] good in personal duels, and can be very intense in personal duels.

"Therefore, we expect a team that has a clear style of play combined with individual quality."
