On May 18th, ABEMA TIMES released the “World Cup Prediction Shadow Edition”. Kaoru Mitoma and Takumi Minamino were simultaneously eliminated from the 26 players announced by Moriyasu Japan for the North/Central America World Cup. We found ourselves in a situation where Yuito Suzuki was the only left shadow specialist. Furthermore, Yuito Suzuki suffered a broken collarbone on May 3rd, and although medical staff determined that he would be fit for the World Cup, concerns about his condition remain. Several ideas have surfaced, including switching Junya Ito to the left, selecting Takato Nakamura, and using Ritsu Doan to the left as a partner for Takefusa Kubo, who is fixed at the right shadow. Coach Moriyasu has indicated his policy to fill the holes left by Mitoma and Minamino with “comprehensive strength.” We have summarized the reactions of netizens.[Original story]ABEMA TIMES “World Cup Predicted Lineup Shadow Edition” (Released on May 18, 2026 at 11:30) #Takefusa Kubo #Junya Ito #Keito Nakamura #Yuito Suzuki #World Cup #Moriho Japan #Overseas Soccer #Slow Commentary⚽ Football.com — Delivering the latest overseas soccer news and reactions from netizens! 🔔 Please subscribe to the channel! https://www.youtube.com/@footballdotcom 💬 Let us know your opinion in the comments section! #Soccer #Overseas Soccer #Slow Commentary #2ch Summary▶ Previous video: https://youtu.be/yhyqULt212g
