Celtic duo Kyogo Furuhashi and Reo Hatate have been named in the Japan starting lineup for this morning’s match against Tunisia. Neither started the 4-1 victory over Canada last time out, but Hajime Moriyasu has given them the nod here.
Kyogo will lead the line against the Tunisians, meanwhile, it looks as though Hatate could be playing out wide on the left. Seeing the 25-year-old in that position will be interesting, especially after he was tipped to play left-back recently.
It will only be the fourth cap for the former Kawasaki Frontale man but for the centre-forward, it will be the twentieth time he will have represented his nation.
The game is due to kick off at 11.10 a.m. UK time. It will be hoped the Celtic duo can do their club proud, but also come through unscathed ahead of a crucial match with Hearts this weekend.
