February 18: Kaoru Mitoma falls on the pitch after being tackled (Reuters)
Brighton manager Roberto Dezerbi (44) of the English Premier League announced on the 27th that Japanese national team midfielder Kaoru Mitoma (26) will be out for two or three months due to a back injury and is unlikely to return before the end of this season. . The club’s official website reports it.
Speaking at a press conference the day before the FA Cup match against Wolverhampton, Dezerbi explained: “Mitma suffered a hip injury before the match against Everton (on the 24th), so he will probably be out for the rest of the season “. ‘As for his condition, he said: “It’s serious. I think it will take two to three months,” and expressed hope that he wouldn’t be able to return before this season.
In the match against Sheffield United on the 18th, when he was substituted, he was involved in a dangerous tackle, but this was said not to have been the reason for his withdrawal, but rather that he was concerned about pain in his lower back. In the next match against Everton he was on the bench.
As a result, he will leave Moriyasu Japan for a long time. It is certain that he will miss the FIFA World Cup Asian second round qualifying match against North Korea in March (21 March in the national team, 26 March in Pyongyang). It also became difficult for him to participate in the matches against Myanmar (6th) and Syria (11th) in June.
