Charalampos Kostoulas News: Plays with U21

Kostoulas is ramping up his fitness and featured in a U21 friendly, according to manager Fabian Hurzeler, per Henry Bryant of Sussex Express."It is only going step by step. It is very important that we don't force it. We have to understand that they both had an injury that made them be out for a long time. But it is very good that they are back on the pitch. Now we have to see step by step that they are getting more game time and that we make them ready to play Premier League."

Kostoulas has yet to feature with the first team since his transfer to Brighton, seeing limited playtime after entering the club with a previous injury. However, after playing 30 minutes with the U21 and ramping up his fitness, he is closing in on his first team sheet appearance. When he is ready for play, a bench spot will be likely, needing to work into a role from a depth position.
