Daichi Kamada Injury: Eyeing return against Brighton

Kamada (hamstring) is eyeing a return against Brighton, according to manager Oliver Glasner. "It looks like today or tomorrow we're doing a re-scan again, and if it looks quite good, he's more and more integrated, so the plan is that he has a full training week and should be available for Brighton if the scan is more or less okay - it won't be perfect, but okay."

Kamada will miss at least another match but is nearing a return to play, with the attacker set for a scan and to train next week. The club will then hope this leads to a return when facing Brighton on Feb. 8. That said, he will still need to see some further training and pass his testing, although this would give them a major boost with the return of a regular starter.
