Kaoru Mitoma Injury: Could be back before break

Mitoma (ankle) is training and could be back before the international break, coach Fabian Hurzeler said in the press conference. "He's back on the pitch, he's training. I don't think that it's a big issue. And I think we could see him before the international break."

Mitoma has resumed team training but isn't yet close to making his return to the match squad. The Japanese winger could be back before the international break, but he's unlikely to be rushed. There will be little reason to push him with the break less than two weeks away. Diego Gomez has benefitted the most to extra playing time in Mitoma's absence.
