Milner expressed gratitude towards the medical team for their support during his recovery. He acknowledged that his comeback has been a long and challenging process, and he appreciates the efforts of the team.

Despite his current fitness, Milner admits that the season's tight schedule has left him with limited time to regain full fitness. He hopes to be back to full strength soon, ideally with a few more weeks to prepare.

Brighton's manager, Fabian Hurzeler, has expressed a desire to keep Milner on the team for the next season. However, the discussions are ongoing, and the outcome remains uncertain.
