Maya and Mu Called Up for Japan Squad

Nagoya's inspirational central defender is added to the Japan squad for the upcoming game against Yemen on 6 January. And about friggin time too. (Not that we really expect Oka-chan to give him a game.)

Mu Kanazaki is also in the squad, but is still listed as an Oita player. (His recent transfer will not be officially registered until the start of the registration period in January.)

The full squad announced of today (21 December). It is a very youthful squad. (The only reason Cerezo's Kagawa is not included is that he is still recovering from the recent operation on his foot.)
