Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler has discussed James Milner's injury setback, which could leave him on the sidelines for a number of weeks.

The Premier League veteran, who turns 39 in January, will not be involved in the club’s trip to Newcastle United this weekend after picking up a minor injury before the international break.

Hurzeler said, “He had a small setback. It's not that positive as it was before the international break. 

“We have to be patient. It's not a thing that will be solved in one or two weeks. It will take several weeks. 

“We can't give a clear schedule when he will be back, but before the break we were more positive, I can be honest about that."
