Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Wolves at American Express Stadium (kick-off 15:00 BST).

Here are the key lines from his news conference:

Mats Wieffer is a doubt because of a "small ankle issue", while Diego Gomez will be assessed to see if he can be available.
On Gomez, who Hurzeler expected to have back for this game: "I'm hoping, but it's important we understand we can't risk his health and we have a responsibility for the players."
Solly March and James Milner return and "will definitely be an option".
He said Lewis Dunk did not feature against Newcastle "because he wasn't fully training", but he has this week and there's "always an opportunity for my captain to come back in and play".
On opponents Wolves: "When you only look at the results it's one perspective, but they have a really good coach, structure and plan. We expect a team that's very disciplined and defend in a low block. They can still sting you."
Hurzeler said their "biggest challenge is to bounce back" from the Newcastle defeat by overcoming "small margins" and eradicating "small easy mistakes" they made.
On signing a new long-term deal: "I feel the trust. I feel the connection. I'm here to achieve something together with the players and staff. I always felt we were building something. I am really excited at what's ahead of us because I see a bright future for the club. I'm looking forward to being part of it."
