Brighton Evaluates Joao Pedro's Fitness Ahead of Nottingham Match

Brighton & Hove Albion's striker Joao Pedro is being cautiously assessed for his return to action ahead of the match against Nottingham Forest. After missing the last two games due to a minor injury sustained during international duty with Brazil, head coach Fabian Hurzeler stated that Pedro will participate in team training, but they will not take any risks with his fitness. Both Brighton and Forest have started the Premier League season unbeaten, each accumulating eight points from four matches. Other injured players for Brighton include James Milner, Brajan Gruda, and Solly March, while midfielder Matts Wieffer is set to make his league debut. Hurzeler emphasized the need for Brighton to create more scoring opportunities, especially following a 0-0 draw against Ipswich Town. The situation around Pedro remains fluid as the team prepares for this critical match.
