Mitoma suffered an apparent hamstring injury in Saturday's 3-0 win over Wolves, according to manager Fabian Hurzeler, per Brian Owen of The Argus. "We have to wait for the scan. It didn't look great, but I am a positive person, and I stay positive regarding that."
Analysis:
Mitoma is worrying Japanese fans Saturday after he needed to come off in the 58th minute of Saturday's match, appearing to have suffered a hamstring injury. This is a major storyline for the Japan National Team, as with the World Cup just a month away, he could be set for the sidelines. A regular hamstring injury would likely knock him out for close to three weeks, although any sort of tear could end his World Cup hopes.
