Kyogo Furuhashi and Reo Hatate have NOT been included in Japan's latest squad - but Daizen Maeda keeps his place for the Kirin Challenge Cup.
National team boss Hajime Moriyasu has named his pool for the clashes with Uruguay at the Tokyo National Stadium and Colombia at the Yodoka Sakura Stadium in Osaka but despite their red-hot club form for Ange Postecoglou, the Hoops duo are once again left out. They both suffered World Cup heartbreak earlier this year.
Celtic star man Kyogo has fired 26 goals in all competitions this season for the Scottish champions including 20 Premiership strikes. He was the hero in the League Cup Final win over Rangers as his double at Hampden secured a 2-1 win and the first piece of silverware of the campaign with the Hoops looking to land a domestic Treble this campaign.
