Stefanos Tzimas News: Ramping up fitness

Tzimas is still ramping up his fitness after playing in a U-21 match, 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. Especially Stefanos, he suffered the injury twice or three times in a row in the same area, and that is something that creates doubts in a player. 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."

Tsimas was back on the field in a U21 match last week, featuring for 30 minutes as he continues to try to make his Premier League debut. That said, he seems to be on the verge of seeing a team sheet soon, although the club is taking his return cautiously. Once he is fit, he will likely see a bench role, more of a depth role for the club as he earns a spot with the team.
