English Premier League side Brighton and Hove Albion have released their list of players registered for their Europa Conference League group stage campaign, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Brighton will open their campaign with a home opener against FK Kauno Žalgiris before traveling to the Czech Republic, Spain and Greece.
In the highlight fixture, AS Monaco visit Brighton in December, while another trip to Athens to take on Panathinaikos completes an intriguing European schedule.
Coach Fabian Hürzeler made a very shocking decision by excluding the established duo of Yankuba Minteh and Kaoru Mitoma from his list of registered players, although both players are currently in top form.
They could be included after the group stage, with their places going to the Nigerian duo of Zadok Yohanna and Femi Azeez, both signed in the summer.
Zadok arrived from Swedish AIK, while Azeez, who is already a full international for Nigeria, arrived from English Championship side Millwall. Both players will play for the first time in a European club competition.
