The 2026 World Cup is only 26 days away, and one of the mainstay players of the Japanese national team has been dropped. Why can? In a press conference in Tokyo, the Japanese national team coach, Hajime Moriyasu, has removed Kaoru Mitoma from the 26-player squad for the 2026 World Cup. This tough decision was made due to the player suffering from a hamstring injury. Mitoma suffered a torn left hamstring muscle while running after the ball in Brighton’s 3-0 win against Wolverhampton. was a very unfortunate blow for the Japanese national team. Losing a winger as powerful as Mitoma, who is famous for his dribbling skills and speed in penetrating the defense line, clearly changed the map of Samurai Blue’s strengths. Mitoma’s loss clearly changes the strength map of Group F, along with the Netherlands, Sweden and Tunisia, which starts against the Netherlands on June 14. #WorldCup2026 #WorldCup2026 #KaoruMitoma #Mitoma #SamuraiBlue #JapanNational Team #JapanFootball #HajimeMoriyasu #WorldCupNews #FootballInfo #WorldCupUpdate #FootballCrazy #WorldFootball #WorldCupFacts #LatestWorldCup
