Returns after knee scare
Mitchell came on in the 81st minute of Costa Rica's 2-0 win over Haiti on Sunday, three days after being forced off in the 19th minute against Nicaragua with a knee problem, according to Alsasports.
Analysis: Mitchell's return to the pitch is a reassuring sign a week before Strasbourg travel to Nice. He made seven clearances, the most of any player, in the 2-1 loss to Paris FC, marking the fourth consecutive league match in which the 21 year old has made at least five clearances.
One shot in 2-1 defeat
Mitchell had one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Paris FC.
Analysis: Mitchell made seven clearances, the most by any player in the match. It was the fourth consecutive league fixture in which the 21-year-old made five or more clearances. Other than that, Mitchell made a couple of interceptions.
Signs with Strasbourg through 2031
Mitchell has signed with Strasbourg through 2031 from Sturm Graz, the club announced.
Analysis: Mitchell began his career in Costa Rica with Guanacasteca in 2021 before moving on to Municipal Liberia and Alajuelense, then joined Feyenoord in the summer of 2024, where he made nine appearances including seven in the Champions League. He spent last season on loan at Sturm Graz, making 32 appearances across all competitions with seven coming in the Europa League. Mitchell is expected to add depth and international experience to Strasbourg's back line after already earning 25 caps and two goals for Costa Rica, including an appearance at the 2024 Copa America. His move to Ligue 1 marks the next step for the 21-year-old center back after stints across multiple European leagues.
