Will return after international break
Mitoma (hamstring) won't be back until after the international break, according to coach Fabian Hurzeler, per The Argus.
Analysis: Mitoma has been without a clear return timeline for months, dating back to the initial hamstring injury and subsequent surgery, complicated further by the car accident that followed, so this update finally gives Brighton a concrete target for his return. Maxim De Cuyper and Ibrahim Osman figure to continue featuring on the left wing until Mitoma is back in contention.
Remains without timeline
Mitoma (hamstring) has yet to be given a timeline to return by manager Fabian Hurzeler ahead of Thursday's UECL playoff.
Analysis: The updates on Mitoma have been lacking over the summer, though he was apparently "getting closer" about 10 days ago. That could mean anything since it's now been three months since the initial injury (and surgery) and the following car accident. Hamstring surgeries are always tricky to deal with an he'll likely need full training sessions before he can get into the squad. Until then, Maxim De Cuyper and Ibrahim Osman are expected to feature on the left wing.
