Brighton's Kaoru Mitoma Doubtful for Leicester Match Due to Injury

Brighton & Hove Albion may be without key winger Kaoru Mitoma for their upcoming Premier League match against Leicester City due to a heel injury sustained during a recent loss to Crystal Palace. Head coach Fabian Hurzeler indicated that Mitoma is doubtful and will attempt to train before the game. This injury adds to Brighton's growing list of absentees, including James Milner and Jan Paul van Hecke, who is suspended for the match. Despite struggling in their last few games, Brighton remains just six points off the Champions League spots and needs all their best players available to maintain their European ambitions. Hurzeler expressed confidence in his team's maturity and game management, hoping for a strong performance against a struggling Leicester side. The match at the Amex Stadium presents an opportunity for Brighton to solidify their position in the league amidst mounting injury challenges.
