The Japan national team played against Sweden in the third match of Group F of the North and Central America World Cup, and defender Kou Itakura was substituted in the 39th minute of the first half after complaining of muscle discomfort. Coach Hajime Moriyasu explained after the game, “He said he was fine, but we substituted him just to be safe.” Shogo Taniguchi, who took his place, displayed calm defense, and Japan maintained their defensive stability. It is believed that there are no major problems with Itakura’s condition, but attention is also focused on his future condition. #Japan National Team #Kitaka Itakura #Shogo Taniguchi #Hajime Moriyasu #Japan Soccer National Team #World Cup #Sweden Match #SAMURAIBLUE #Substitute #Muscular Discomfort #Sports News #Soccer #World Cup #Japanese Soccer #Match News
