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.

Update Friday 5 December 2025

🎙️|Fabian Hürzeler: ¨I don't have great news today. Stefanos, we have to further assess him, but at the moment, it looks like a long-term injury. Not quite lucky with them, but we will find solutions. We wish Stefanos a quick recovery and all the best. I would say months.¨ (Source: Brighton & Hove Albion)

Update Friday 12 December 2025

"Stefanos Tzimas will miss the whole of the season. I hope he will be back in pre-season...."He has already started his rehab. He will have surgery soon. We have big trust in the doctors and in our medical department...."We are quite convinced that he will be back as quickly as possible and in even better shape." (Source: Brighton & Hove Albion)
