Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Burnley at the Amex (kick-off 15:00 GMT).

Here are the key lines from his news conference:

Yankuba Minteh had a scan on his leg after the last match against West Ham, but it was just a dead leg. They will decide if he is ready to start after Friday's training session. Mats Wieffer has a small issue with his toe which rules him out of Saturday's match, but it should not be a serious injury.
Hurzeler spoke highly of Pascal Gross, who has recently been linked with a return to Brighton - but he did not give any indication on the truth of these rumours.
He says "nothing is impossible" in regards to other potential business in the January transfer window and says he is in daily contact with chief executive Paul Barber and owner Tony Bloom.
Kaoru Mitoma "can be an option" to start against Burnley after having an impact off the bench against West Ham.
On Saturday's opponents: "The results they've had don't reflect their results so far. They have quality platers and they know how to score goals and their performances have been a warning."
