Japan forward Kaoru Mitoma is a major doubt for next month’s Asian Cup
29.12.23 / 08:20
“We have more or less 10 injured players, maybe eight, but (the other) two players can’t start the game,” Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi already said on the eve of his team’s home match with Tottenham.
“Mitoma is one of them. We’ve lost Kaoru for around six weeks.”
The 26-year-old Mitoma, a fast and skilful player, suffered his injury in Brighton’s 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace last Thursday.
The Asian Cup, to be played in Qatar, begins on Jan. 12 and four-time winner Japan has been drawn in Group D with Indonesia, Iraq and Vietnam.
Japan launches its campaign against Vietnam in Doha on Jan. 14.
