Hurzeler on injuries, Gomez and 'trusting the process'

Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game at home against Arsenal (17:30 GMT).

Here are the key lines from his news conference:

• Jack Hinshelwood is "close" to a return and Adam Webster will be available for the visit of the Gunners. Hurzeler is also unsure whether Pervis Estupinan will be ready after recovering from an illness but he is "hopeful" while Evan Ferguson's injury is "not an easy issue".

• Danny Welbeck's return is being assessed "day by day" but there is "no clear schedule" and Ferdi Kadioglu remains sidelined.

• Saturday is "too early" for new signing Diego Gomez - who officially joined on 1 January from MLS side Inter Miami - to make his debut but he "has had two weeks off and is in great shape". Hurzeler added that Gomez brings physicality and he cannot wait to see him on the pitch.

• Hurzeler said it is hard to compare Brighton's recent winless run with a previous similar experience at St. Pauli: "Things happen for different reasons. The experience gives you orientation in how to behave in these situations and how to come back to the results. In the end, there are some patterns you can adjust. Despite the bad results, we have had some really good performances. Always trust the process. We are on the right way."

• He chooses to see the season so far as glass half full rather than half empty: "There are only a few teams in the league who have lost less times than us. I see more the positive things than the negative things. I try and give the trust and belief to the club and the players. The glass will be really full one day."

• What will it take to beat title-chasing Arsenal?: "Push all limits in every phase of the game. Continue to play with courage and intensity. The results have not been good [recently] but the performances are there. We have shown we can beat every team in this league. If we don't play with courage in possession, we have no chance."
