"“Regarding the World Cup, I'm not sure yet,” said Hurzeler before the Seagulls play at Leeds United on Sunday (15:00 BST). “We'll be in touch with the Japan federation. ”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.”"
"Mitoma suffered a hamstring injury in a win against Wolves and will miss his side's final two Premier League games of the season. Japan coach Hajime Moriyasu is set to name his squad for the World Cup, which starts on 11 June, on Friday. Japan open their Word Cup campaign against the Netherlands on 14 June before further Group F games against Tunisia and Sweden."
Kaoru Mitoma suffered a hamstring injury in a Premier League win against Wolves and will miss Brighton’s final two league games. Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler said he is not sure yet whether Mitoma will be fit for the 2026 World Cup and that a clear recovery schedule cannot be given. Hurzeler said Brighton will contact the Japan federation and must be patient with the injury. Japan coach Hajime Moriyasu is expected to name the World Cup squad on Friday, with the tournament starting on 11 June. Japan’s group matches begin against the Netherlands on 14 June, followed by Tunisia and Sweden. Mitoma’s absence is a blow as Brighton aims to secure a European place while sitting seventh.
