00:00Yes, guys, how's it going? I'm Henry Bryant, a reporter that covers Brighton and Hove Albion,
00:04and I've just been to the pre-match press conference as Brighton are set to go away
00:09to Ipswich on Thursday. Now, Fabian Hösler was talking about some of the team news and
00:14some of the injuries that we've got. Igor has been announced to be out for the rest of the season.
00:19It's not looking good for him. He's had a few troublesome issues. The likes of Lewis Dunk
00:25will be back. Van Geck will be back. There's also a few other people in contention to be back for
00:30this one with the likes of Jack Hinshawood. Rutter could maybe come back as well. Jal
00:36Pedro could maybe come back. It's all a little bit up in the air, and Fabian Hösler was saying that
00:41he's got to find out today, which is Tuesday, what's going on and find out from there.
00:46I also asked Fabian Hösler about Soli March's goal against Norwich that will fill him with so
00:50much confidence coming back from injury. Fabian was adding that it gave him goosebumps and you
00:56could tell that the fans loved him and he loved the fans and the club, so it was fantastic to hear
01:01that. He also said that he's not going to rush Soli. He's not going to make an emotional decision
01:06based on that performance, and he's still going to ease him into the team. It does look like with
01:11injuries, though, that he will be getting a bit more first-team football and his chances could
01:16come thick and fast. Talking about the opposition for Brighton on Thursday, Hösler was talking about
01:22Liam De Lappe, who's got eight goals and two assists already this season, saying that he knew
01:26about him at his old club, St. Pauli, and that he's already a young man that seems like a very
01:32experienced striker. He plays in a very older fashion and Brighton will have to be wary of him.
01:37There was also a question about Julio Enciso and his future, which has seemed like it's been
01:41on a thread at times with the club, taking to social media at times to voice the lack of game
01:46time and also just things that just didn't seem quite right. I mean, Brighton fans really like
01:52him. He's a real serious talent, but Fabian Hösler said there's no decision made on what the future
01:58holds for Enciso just yet. He's still at the club. There are a few sort of murmurs to say that he
02:04could be going on loan, a few reports here saying that he could go on loan, he could be permanently
02:09sold, but no decision's been made yet. And for the latest coverage for this game, team news and more,
