Celtic fans' favourites Kyogo Furuhashi and Reo Hatate have been left out of Japan's squad for the World Cup.
The duo are key players at club level for boss Ange Postecoglou, but they won't be on the plane to Qatar later this month - but Daizen Maeda HAS made the cut. He's played the most minutes for the Samurai Blue in the qualification process to reach the finals and boss Hajime Moriyasu has kept faith by handing him a spot in the 26-man squad.
Hatate is yet to make his full break through at international level so was seen as an outsider to land a place in the pool but the decision to leave out Kyogo will come as more of a surprise. He netted a stunner in Celtic's weekend win over Livingston to take his season tally to nine so far after hitting 20 goals in his debut campaign - despite time out on the injury table.
