Mitoma (illness) is an option for Tuesday's match against West Ham, according to manager Fabian Hurzeler. "Kaoru will be back."

Mitoma was battling an illness and missed the last match, but is set for his return this week, making the short turnaround to face West Ham. This is huge news for the club after only returning from injury three games ago, hoping to start to ramp up his minutes. He has yet to start since returning, likely to earn back that role in the coming games, starting in all six games to open the season.
