Brightons tränare osäker på om Mitoma missar VM

Brightons manager Fabian Hurzeler har bekräftat att den japanske anfallaren Kaoru Mitoma missar säsongens två sista Premier League-matcher på grund av en lårskada, men gav inget besked om spelarens tillgänglighet inför VM 2026.

Mitoma tvingades kliva av under Brightons 3-0-seger mot Wolves i lördags och kommer inte att spela mot Leeds United på söndag eller Manchester United i säsongsavslutningen. Hurzeler berättade för reportrar inför Leeds-matchen att klubben håller kontakt med det japanska förbundet angående anfallarens återhämtningsplan.
