Kyogo Furuhashi has been voted into Japan's best XI for last year by their players' association...despite being snubbed for the World Cup.
The Celtic ace was a surprise omission from the Qatar tournament and was devastated to not make the final squad chosen by manager Hajime Moriyasu.
But he's been handed a huge accolade by his fellow pros after being named in Japan's Team of the Year by the Japanese Professional Football Players Association - the only player chosen who wasn't selected for the World Cup squad.
