Brighton are away to Newcastle United in the 8th round of the Premier League, and Seagulls boss Schurzler updated his team on injuries and preparations in his pre-match press conference.

Speaking about the team's injury list, Hülzeler said, "We hope that every player who played for the national team will return healthy, but we haven't seen all of them yet. Nciso and Estupinian are the latest to return to the team, we will see them today and find out more. Also, O'Reilly and João Pedro need more time to recover from their injuries. With Milner, we have to be patient, while Webster will miss the game against Newcastle, but Van Hecke is one of the names we can consider for the game."

Speaking about the match against Newcastle United, Hülzeler said, "We want to achieve great things and Newcastle are a big club who have the same goal. We won't avoid anyone, we will be brave and attack forward and try to win the game. But Newcastle are a really big challenge and I'm really looking forward to that challenge and I want to see if we can handle it."

When asked if he had ever been to St. James' Park, Hülzeler confessed, "I haven't been there yet, but I'm really looking forward to it. I've always heard that it's one of the best stadiums in the Premier League in terms of atmosphere, but I think the atmosphere at American Express is the best. But regardless, it's going to be a close game and we have to keep our heads and focus on doing what we can control and focus on the little details."

Hürzeler emphasized, "Emotions are important in soccer, but in the most important moments you have to stay calm and rational and not get emotional. We believe in the ability of our players, in our style of play, and as long as we focus on the game and do the details right, we will gain confidence and have a chance to win."
