Here’s a paraphrased version of the injury update for Brighton and Hove Albion:
Brighton’s Kaoru Mitoma is set to undergo a scan after sustaining a suspected knee injury during their 2-1 FA Cup win over Newcastle United.
Mitoma appeared to hurt his left knee in the 90th minute and was forced to leave the pitch, with Solly March coming on as his replacement. March later assisted Danny Welbeck’s brilliant match-winning goal at St James’ Park.
Last January, Brighton rejected a significant offer from Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr for Mitoma.
The Japanese winger will be closely monitored by Brighton’s medical staff throughout the week and is uncertain for Saturday’s Premier League fixture against Fulham at the Amex Stadium.
With their victory at Newcastle, Brighton secured a spot in the FA Cup quarter-finals, where they will face either Nottingham Forest or Ipswich Town.
Forest, playing at home, are the favorites to win against Ipswich tonight. If they do, Brighton could get a chance to avenge their 7-0 Premier League defeat to Forest earlier this season.
