The Seagulls go to Liverpool on Saturday, sitting in eighth, two places ahead of the Reds.
Asked about the controversy around Salah, Hurzeler said he'd be happy if the Egyptian started the match.
"We always want to face the best players, the best teams. We try to go for this challenge, to be honest, we don't have any idea how Liverpool will play with which players that will face us, which formation," he explained.
Pushed about Salah's row with Liverpool manager Arne Slot and the club's directors, Hurzeler insisted the focus must be on themselves.
"It's about us, focusing on our principles, our style of play. We go there, we know no matter which situation Liverpool is it will be a big challenge, so we try to face it and we try to win this game."
Both teams inconsistent
When asked about going to Anfield, Hurzeler admitted both teams have struggled at times this season.
"We have also been up and down this season, so I think at the moment there are maybe two clubs in the league who have consistency.
"All the others are fighting against each other; it is quite competitive and Liverpool is part of that.
"Every game there is an opportunity for us to win it and every game we prove this season we can beat other teams."
Ferguson return?
Hurzeler was also asked about Evan Ferguson's loan with Roma.
Before his two-goal performance in Roma's Europa League win against Celtic, there was talk of Brighton and Roma discussing an end to the loan in January.
And Hurzeler confirmed this morning: "Evan is a player for us, that is why he will always be an option. At the moment, he is on loan, but we follow it; we are pleased with how he performed yesterday. Of course, we all follow it, so definitely he might be an option."
