Gutted Kyogo Furuhashi earned support from his fellow Celtic stars after being dealt a blow as he was left out Japan's World Cup squad.
The team spirit was on full display as the players smiled and hugged ahead of the Champions League blockbuster match against Real Madrid. Kyogo was pictured training at Celtic Park on Tuesday morning, just hours after news broke that both he and Reo Hatate had suffered World Cup heartache after being left out of Japan’s squad.
Despite the setback for two of his key players, Ange Postecoglou's side looked united as they prepared for the crunch clash in the Spanish capital. At times like this you need your mates to pick you up and that was evident at Parkhead. Kyogo looked upbeat while Hatate was all smiles as he was pictured sharing a joke with Greg Taylor. Meanwhile Sead Haksabanovic and Matt O'Riley embraced each other in a hug.
