Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi says he wants Alexis Mac Allister back in club action “when he’s ready”, with the transition from the World Cup not easy.

Seagulls midfielder Mac Allister was part of the Argentina side that went all the way to last Sunday’s final of the tournament in Qatar and triumphed by beating France on penalties.
