🚨 Club World Cup: Japan name squad, superstar ruled out! | OneFootball

Huge blow for Japan!

This Friday, Japan unveiled its list of players selected for the World Cup. While Yuto Nagatomo’s presence stands out for his fifth World Cup appearance at the age of 39, Japan also confirmed some terrible news.

Already without Takumi Minamino, the Japanese side will also have to do without Kaoru Mitoma, who injured his thigh with Brighton last weekend.

This is a major setback for Japan, deprived of one of its attacking leaders, but also for the spectators, who will not get to see one of the best dribblers in the tournament in action.

What do you think of this squad? Tell us everything in the comments.
