Brighton boss De Zerbi explains gradual Moder return

Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi says he'll continue to gradually re-introduce Jakob Moder.

The Pole has featured in the last two games after a 19 month absence.

De Zerbi said: “He needs to put in time on the pitch.

“He played in a very difficult situation in Nottingham, in another difficult situation the last ten, 15 minutes against Brentford.

“It's important for him to play game by game – 15 minutes, ten minutes, maybe he can sometimes play 30 minutes.

“We are waiting for the right moment to put him on the pitch.

“In the first moment, it is difficult to understand how much time he can play.

“First of all, we don't take risks with him.

“If we lose one month with a muscular injury, it can be a big problem for him.

“He is another potential leader of Brighton in the future.
