Brighton Signing Sparks Worry as Young Striker Limps Off Holding Thigh – Season Now in Doubt
Brighton & Hove Albion’s recent acquisition, Stefanos Tzimas, could be facing a major setback before ever stepping onto the pitch in the Premier League.
The 19-year-old forward, who was signed from FC Nürnberg during the closing stages of the winter transfer window, was immediately loaned back to the German side for the remainder of the season.
However, his promising campaign may have hit a troubling snag.
Tzimas has been in impressive form, netting 12 goals and registering three assists across 24 appearances.
But during a recent match, he was forced off the field before the hour mark after clutching his left thigh, raising immediate concerns about a possible muscular injury.
The young Greek talent visibly struggled as he made his way toward the dressing room, sparking fears over his fitness.
According to *Bild*, the extent of the injury remains unclear, but it casts significant doubt over whether Tzimas will feature again this season.
For Brighton, who viewed the teenager as a long-term prospect, this early injury concern will be a cause for concern as they monitor his recovery from afar.
