Promise David set for chance to impress against Jablonec

The Canadian striker is likely to play some part as Albion tackle Jablonec in the Conference League.

But his head coach says he is making progress in his adaption process.

David has yet to make an impact since his exciting summer arrival on loan from Union St-Gilloise.

He went on as a substitute at home to Kauno Zalgiris last Thursday and was denied by a good block.

But he has not had a chance to shine in the Premier League during the recent good run, even when Albion have been well on top in games.

Hurzeler told The Argus: “He's getting close. He's trying to adapt to the intensity.

“We have some players who need more time to adapt to the intensity, to the demands we have in our game.

“But, for him, he seems to be now in a better place so let's see how he will perform tomorrow.”

Asked whether that suggested he would play against Jablonec, Hurzeler replied: “My words, you can interpret like you want.

“But like I said, he's doing well and, of course, these kinds of games might also give him the opportunity to get game minutes because these players say they need game minutes to adapt as well to our intensity.

“But that doesn't mean, or I didn't say, that he will start the game.

“So it's up to you how you interpret it!”
