After a long absence, defender Takehiro Tomiyasu (Ajax) returned for the first time in 1 year and 9 months since the World Cup second qualifying round in June 2024, and defender Hiroki Ito (Bayern) returned for the first time in a year since the World Cup final qualifying round in March last year. FW Kento Shiogai (Wolfsburg) was called up for the first time. GK Ayane Suzuki (Parma), midfielder Junya Ito (Genk), and midfielder Kaoru Mitoma (Brighton), who were absent from national team activities last November due to injury, also returned. Meanwhile, DF Ko Itakura (Ajax), MF Wataru Endo (Liverpool), MF Takumi Minamino (Monaco), MF Takefusa Kubo (Sociedad) and others were not called up due to injury. What will coach Hajime Moriyasu try to test and check in the March series, which will be the team’s last national team activities before the North and Central America World Cup? As the fight for survival to become a member of the World Cup main tournament enters its final phase, reporter Takeuchi, who is in charge of the Japanese national team, deciphers the background of player selection.
