Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler has now confirmed that Pedro will be back in training on Friday, but insisted he is unwilling to take any risks with the 22-year-old’s fitness ahead of the clash with a Forest side still on a high from their shock victory over Liverpool at Anfield last weekend.

Ahead of Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 5, FPL managers face an anxious wait to see if Alexander Isak and Kevin de Bruyne have recovered from their injuries.

Joao Pedro was in training with Brighton on Wednesday, but manager Fabian Hurzeler was not ready to confirm the striker’s fitness for this weekend’s action.
