The Japanese national team is facing an “emergency situation” in which they will be without key players one after another for the 2026 World Cup. Before the tournament, Kaoru Mitoma, Takumi Minamino, and captain Wataru Endo were removed from the team, and during the tournament, Takefusa Kubo injured his left knee in the first match against the Netherlands and was forced to miss the match against Sweden. Still, Japan overwhelmed Tunisia 4-0 and decided to advance to the final tournament. Foreign media have also commented that they were surprised by the depth of Japan’s players, saying, “Even though Mitoma, Minamino, Endo, and Kubo were absent.” Anyone can compete – that is Moriyasu Japan’s strength right now.
