Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler has confirmed that Japan forward Kaoru Mitoma will miss the final two Premier League games of the season with a hamstring injury but offered no clarity on the player's availability for the 2026 World Cup.

Mitoma was forced off during Brighton's 3-0 win against Wolves last Saturday and will not feature against Leeds United on Sunday or Manchester United in the season finale. Hurzeler told reporters ahead of the Leeds match that the club remains in contact with the Japan federation regarding the forward's recovery timeline.
