Brighton beat Manchester City 1-0 on Saturday without Ferdi Kadioglu. After the match, Fabian Hurzeler said he is hopeful Kadioglu will be available for Thursday's game against Getafe.
Kadioglu's condition
Hurzeler said Kadioglu trained but was still feeling the effects of the injury he suffered against Liverpool.
Hurzeler said: "He trained yesterday but he still felt it and therefore we had to make a decision afterwards that it doesn’t make sense."
Hurzeler said: "Hopefully now he can recover in the next few days."
Hope for Thursday
Hurzeler said Brighton had one more day than usual before the Getafe game.
Hurzeler said: "We have one more day than usual so I’m quite positive that he’s an option for Thursday."
Response after the cup exit
Hurzeler said he was delighted with his players' response after Brighton's Carabao Cup exit to Manchester City on penalties.
Hurzeler said: "We were sitting in the locker room on Wednesday with a disappointing feeling because going out in a penalty shoot-out is brutal."
What Brighton promised themselves
Hurzeler said: "We promised ourselves on Saturday that we don’t want to have the same feeling."
Hurzeler said: "We want to have the feeling of being satisfied, of being happy after the game, that’s what we promised ourselves."
