"He [Mitoma] will be out. He will miss the next two games,"
"Regarding the World Cup, I'm not sure yet. We will be in touch with the Japan federation."
"It is a big blow. We have a big squad and we have showed this season we can replace important players. We see it as a chance to stick together. Everyone in this team can have an impact. It's a blow but an opportunity."
"We really have to be patient with this injury, we cannot give a clear schedule. He will miss our two games. That is sad for Kaoru, He was in good form and had a big impact on our performances. He needs to take care of his privacy and his health."
Kaoru Mitoma will miss Brighton and Hove Albion’s final two games of the season because of a hamstring injury. He was substituted in the 58th minute during Brighton’s 3-0 win over Wolves. Brighton’s manager confirmed Mitoma will not play against Leeds United on Sunday or in the Premier League finale versus Manchester United. Reports from Japan suggested the injury could rule him out of the expanded 48-team World Cup in North America, but the manager said he could not confirm that outcome. The manager said Brighton will stay together and has a squad capable of replacing key players. He added that the injury requires patience and no clear timetable can be given. Japan will announce its World Cup squad on Friday, and Mitoma’s availability will be discussed with the Japan federation.
