Kaoru Mitoma Injury: Small setback, could be back

Mitoma (ankle) suffered a small setback in training but is again a late call for Sunday's clash against West Ham United, coach Fabian Hurzeler said in the press conference, according to The Argus. "[Kaoru] is still an option, so let's see if he's able to train today. He had a small setback during the training session, not a big one, so hopefully he can train today and then for sure we try to make him as quick as possible an option for us."

Mitoma suffered a little setback in training ahead of the game against Aston Villa but could be back available for Sunday's clash against the Hammers. That said, Mitoma has often been a late call in recent weeks and will hope that this time will be the good one to finally make the match squad again after missing all the games since late September. The left winger will look to claim back his undisputed starting role in the frontline of the Seagulls once fully back fit.
