Ruled out of season opener
Tzimas (knee) is out for Sunday's season opener against Aston Villa, according to coach Fabian Hurzeler, per BBC Sport Sussex.
Analysis: Tzimas has been working his way back from the torn ACL that ended his promising start to life at Brighton, during which he scored and assisted once across nine appearances, and while he'd been considered the closest of the club's injured players to a return, this update confirms he isn't quite ready for the opener. Georginio Rutter or new signing Promise David are expected to lead the line up front in his continued absence, with Tzimas' timeline for a return still to be determined.
Closest to return
Tzimas (knee) is the closest to a return among Brighton's injured players, according to coach Fabian Hurzeler, per Derren Howard of Sussex Express. "Stef is the closest."
Analysis: Tzimas has been working his way back from the torn ACL that ended his promising start to life at Brighton, during which he scored and assisted once across nine appearances. Even as the closest of the club's injured players to a return, it remains uncertain whether he will be fit for the Conference League playoff on Aug. 20 and 27 or the Premier League opener against Aston Villa on Aug. 23.
