Japan face Uruguay at Miyagi Stadium today at 12.05, opening Real Sociedad’s international slate with Take Kubo involved. Diario Vasco notes it is the first of several fixtures for the club’s contingent.

Japan are favourites, having gone three years unbeaten at home. Hajime Moriyasu remains in charge after the World Cup and has called Kaina Tanimura and Shuto Nakano as headline additions for this new cycle.

Moriyasu has consistently trusted the Real forward Take Kubo, and there is no indication that will change. Uruguay begin under new head coach Diego Forlán, with Fede Valverde out due to an ankle injury.

Tomorrow, Jon Martín’s under-21s visit Finland at 17.30 in Euro 2027 qualifying. Later, at 21.00, Madadou Sarr’s Senegal face Mozambique in the Africa Cup of Nations.

Sarr missed the Valencia match with physical discomfort, but he is, in principle, available for his national team.
