Japan have secured their place at Qatar 2022 with a 2-0 win over Australia despite no Celtic stars featuring.
That means Kyogo Furuhashi, Daizen Maeda and Reo Hatate will be eyeing a spot in the squad to travel to the World Cup this winter.
Hatate was on the bench for qualifying clash, while Maeda had been called up but missed the game due to a fitness issue but Kyogo is still out with a hamstring injury but would be a cert to be included in the squad if fully fit.
