Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler and captain Lewis Dunk held a press conference ahead of the Europa Conference League qualifier against Tromso on Thursday. Hurzeler discussed several key issues, including injuries to players Carlos Baleba, Kaoru Mitoma, Stefanos Tzimas, and Yankuba Minteh. He also mentioned that new signings Pascal Struijk, Luka Vuskovic, and Promise David could feature in the match.
Hurzeler praised Tromso's aggressive playing style, particularly their high-press tactics, and urged his team to capitalize on the opportunity to secure a spot in the Conference League. Dunk announced that the club would refund tickets for the 407 fans traveling to Tromso, and provide scarves and t-shirts to the traveling supporters.
He explained that the club wanted to start the season on a positive note and hoped the gesture would be appreciated by the fans. Dunk also commented on Tromso's artificial pitch, stating that while the ball behaves differently to grass, most of the Brighton squad would be familiar with the surface from their own experience.
