The young forward picked up the issue while making a challenge, forcing him off and leaving manager Fabian Hürzeler unsure about the severity. Hürzeler admitted the club must “wait for the scan tomorrow” to understand the full extent of the problem. (Source: Brighton & Hove Albion)

The timing of the injury is particularly unfortunate, as the match marked Tzimas’ first Premier League start—coming just one game after scoring his first league goal. He is expected to miss Sunday’s clash with West Ham and could potentially face a longer spell on the sidelines depending on the scan results.
