Brighton Boss Fabian Hürzeler says he is “still not sure” whether Japan winger Kaoru Mitoma will be fit to play at the 2026 World Cup.
Mitoma suffered a hamstring injury in the win against the wolf and will miss his side’s final two Premier League games of the season.
Japan coach Hajime Moriyasu is set to announce his squad for the World Cup starting on Friday, June 11.
“About the World Cup, I’m not sure yet,” Herzeler said before the Seagulls game Leeds United on Sunday (15:00 BST).
“We will contact the Japan Federation.
“We really have to be patient with this injury, we can’t give a clear timetable.
“He will miss two of our matches. It’s sad for Kaoru. He was in good form and had a big impact on our performance.”
