Japan captain Wataru Endo has withdrawn from the World Cup because of injury. The 33-year-old Liverpool midfielder has also retired from international football.
Endo was hurt in late May during Japan’s only warm-up, a 1-0 win over Iceland. The tournament runs from 11 June to 19 July. The player said in a post that he had done everything possible since the injury and had no regrets.
