Fabian Hurzeler on Vuskovic fitness, Dunk hint and Arsenal test | OneFootball

Fabian Hurzeler reported no new injuries before Arsenal visit the Amex, adding that Vuskovic will recover quickly and be an option tomorrow. According to TheArgus.co.uk, Azeez remains out while Hadjam is fine after a knock at Man Utd.

Hurzeler said Lewis Dunk is an option to play, which would mark his 300th Premier League start. He wants balance between scoring and clean sheets, with the shut-out the priority.

He praised Kostoulas as a natural goalscorer with a winning mentality, shaped by Olympiacos, and stressed the value of multiple scorers across the team. Verbruggen’s professionalism and growing leadership also impressed him, with credit to Jelle ten Rouwelaar’s work with the keepers.

Dressing-room rituals matter too, with Verbruggen buying coffees after clean sheets, a habit that even nudged Hurzeler towards an espresso macchiato. He urged an intense Amex atmosphere and said Arsenal have started impressively, having congratulated them as deserved champions last season.

He said there will be training and a friendly during the international break, a chance for injured players to recover and for the squad to connect on away trips. Yalcouye has been called up by Ivory Coast, and Hurzeler wants him to stay humble.

Brighton will visit Manchester City in the Carabao Cup fourth round, a tie that looks likely for Wednesday, 28 October, before a trip to Getafe to start November. Wednesday also brought wins for the seniors at Old Trafford and the under-21s against Paris St Germain, with Younes Ibrahim scoring twice.
