Fabian Hurzeler has revealed that Stefanos Tzimas will be out for months after sustaining a knee injury against Aston Villa.

The striker went down midway through the first half while pressing Villa defender Pau Torres, with the Greece youth international unable to continue.

“I don't have great news today,” Fabian Hurzeler said in his press conference on Friday morning. “We have to further assess Stefanos, but at the moment it looks like a long-term injury.

“We will find solutions and we wish Stefanos a quick recovery.

“We have to further assess him so I can't give you a clear schedule and a clear injury [diagnosis]. He had a scan, but there's still some things we have to clarify. He will be out for months rather than weeks.

“I spoke to him quickly after the game and had a message with him yesterday [Thursday]. I haven’t seen him yet.

“He's a strong character. He will come back stronger than he is now. It's a bad moment for him, but I always hope that the player has an understanding of how to use this time to get better, to strengthen.

“I'm quite sure that this environment here really will help him. His teammates will help him, the staff members will help him. Everyone is there to help him make a quick recovery. Hopefully we see him back on the pitch soon.”
