"I think we've lost Mitoma for the rest of the season. I think he's out for two or three months, so the season is over for him," De Zerbi was quoted as saying by Brighton's press service.
This season, the 26-year-old Japanese played 26 matches for Brighton, scoring three goals and making six assists.
