A significant setback for Japan!
This Friday, Japan announced its roster for the World Cup. While Yuto Nagatomo makes headlines with his fifth World Cup selection at the age of 39, the team also delivered some disappointing news.
In addition to being without Takumi Minamino, the Japanese squad will also be missing Kaoru Mitoma, who sustained a thigh injury while playing for Brighton last weekend.
This loss is a significant blow for Japan, stripping the team of one of its key attacking players, and disappointing fans who were eager to see one of the tournament’s finest dribblers take the field.
What are your thoughts on this squad? Let us know in the comments.
