Brighton’s Kadioglu underwent surgery this week, Hurzeler confirmed

Brighton and Hove Albion star Ferdi Kadioglu underwent surgery this week.

The Turkish international will be out for at least a few months after failing to recover naturally from a foot problem.

Albion Manager Fabian Hurzeler confirmed the decision to set Kadioglu Under the knife.

The player posted on social media: “In recent months, I have worked hard to recover from an injury that I initially believed would heal quickly.

“However, despite my efforts and the support of our medical team, the recovery process has taken longer than expected.

“After thorough evaluations, we have decided that undergoing an operation on January 2 is the best step forward to ensure a full recovery.

“Although it is never easy to face such setbacks, I am fully committed to come back stronger than ever and help my team by giving everything on the field.

“Thank you for your ongoing support during this period.”
