Evan Ferguson set for Brighton start against Wolves in Carabao Cup

Evan Ferguson, a 19-year-old striker from the Republic of Ireland, is set to make his first start since March in the Carabao Cup third round against Wolverhampton Wanderers. He recently returned to action after recovering from ankle surgery that sidelined him since April. Brighton & Hove Albion's head coach, Fabian Hurzeler, expressed confidence in Ferguson's abilities, stating that he has already witnessed the player's potential and does not need to prove himself further. Hurzeler emphasized the importance of Ferguson integrating into the team's style of play and contributing both in possession and out of possession. He highlighted Ferguson's finishing skills and overall capabilities as a striker, indicating that the young player could significantly impact the team's performance. In addition to Ferguson's return, Brighton has other players available for the match, including summer signing Mats Wieffer, who is set for a potential home debut after recovering from a thigh injury. However, another newcomer, Brajan Gruda, is still in the process of recovering from his injury. The upcoming match against Wolves presents an opportunity for Ferguson to showcase his talent and for the team to build momentum in the competition. With Hurzeler's backing, Ferguson is expected to play a crucial role in Brighton's strategy moving forward, as the club aims to progress in the Carabao Cup.
