Keito Nakamura decisive for Japan on 30th cap, OL trio also in action | OneFootball

Keito Nakamura marked his 30th Japan cap with an assist as the new OL signing helped beat Uruguay 3-1 in Miyagi.

Le Progres raises whether the international break will benefit all Lyon players who joined their national teams at the start of the week.

Adil Hamdani started for France U18 at the Limoges tournament, a 1-1 draw with Austria that ended in defeat on penalties, before a second match against Ukraine on Friday.

On Thursday, Nakamura started, played 83 minutes and teed up Kuo Matsuki in the friendly win over Uruguay.

The day before, he told a press conference he felt content, pleased to be back at the elite level with OL and to rejoin the national team after the World Cup.

He said it has not been long since arriving in Lyon, that he thinks he has made a good start, and that he hopes to show good things with Japan.

On Thursday evening, fellow OL regulars Felix Bacher, Mads Bidstrup and Ernest Nuamah were also on duty for Austria, Denmark and Ghana.
