Mitoma (hamstring) was involved in a car accident in Tokyo in which he was not injured, as he continues recovery, according to Andy Naylor of The Athletic.
Analysis:Mitoma has had further turbulence in an offseason of uncertainty for the Seagulls winger, as he was the driver of a car that struck a woman, causing minor injuries. He was not hurt himself, but remains under investigation as they figure out the full length and severity of the event. Either way, this is not something Mitoma needed at the moment, as he is in the midst of recovering from a hamstring injury that needed surgery while trying to maintain a spot on the team following a few seasons of injuries. The report is that he is fully cooperating and will look to be with the team soon again, although it is still unknown if he will be an option to start the season, with his chances getting slimmer as time passes.
