After a tough match against Southampton on Friday night, Kaoru Mitoma, the talented player from Japan, suffered an injury that leaves him uncertain for the upcoming game against Fulham on Thursday. Mitoma, who scored a goal in the 1-1 draw against the Saints, was visibly in pain after a collision with Tyler Dibling from Southampton. This comes at a busy time for the Premier League, with Brighton set to face off against Fulham at Craven Cottage in just a few days.
Brighton's manager, Fabian Hurzeler, is hoping to have Mitoma, who is 27 years old, available for the game, but it remains to be seen whether he will be fit enough to play. In a post-match interview, Hurzeler stated, "We have to wait. I don't think it's a major issue and we will do our best to have him ready for the next game." The same goes for Yasin Ayari, a Swedish midfielder who also picked up a knock during the match, but is expected to recover quickly.
However, there are a few other players on the Brighton team who are doubtful for the upcoming game. Joel Veltman, Ferdi Kadioglu, and Jack Hinshelwood are all facing uncertainties due to injuries. Despite these challenges, Hurzeler's team has been performing admirably in the Premier League, currently sitting in fourth place after 13 matches.
The draw against Southampton was a bit of a setback for the team, with a less-than-stellar performance and result. Hurzeler admitted, "It wasn't our best game in terms of intensity, pressing, and taking our chances. A draw was all we deserved." He also acknowledged the difficulty of playing against a team that presses aggressively, making it tough to control the game. While they were able to do so in the first half, they struggled in the second half.
Naturally, the team is disappointed with not being able to secure a win at home for their fans. As Hurzeler put it, "We should be disappointed because we wanted to give our fans another victory, but unfortunately, we weren't able to. It's all part of the process, and we need to keep pushing and winning these games." Despite the challenges, Hurzeler and his team remain determined and focused on achieving success in the Premier League.
