According to the British "London Evening Standard" report, Japanese national team defender Kodai Takai, who plays for Tottenham Hotspur, suffered a plantar aponeurosis injury and is still recovering.
The prospects for Kodai Takai's comeback are still unclear. The Japan international moved to Tottenham from Kawasaki Frontale in July this year and is highly expected to shine in top competitions such as the Premier League and Champions League.
However, he was unfortunately injured during pre-season training, resulting in his failure to be selected for Tottenham's Champions League registration list. Although he returned to the first team earlier this month, he is still unable to participate in training and the specific time for his return has not yet been determined.
Kodai Takai has not yet had a chance to play in Tottenham's official games, and has not even been on the bench, so his debut has been delayed. The latest reports show that Kodai Takai is still not participating in Tottenham training, and the specific time for his return is not yet clear.
At the same time, Dragusin underwent surgery for an anterior cruciate ligament injury in his right knee and has been sidelined since January this year. Frank said that Dragusin's recovery is progressing well and he may return after the international break next month.
The absence of Kodai Takai is a big blow to the Japanese national team, especially when several main players at the center back position are absent due to injuries. Although the Japanese team led by Mori Yasuichi historically defeated the Brazilian team in the warm-up match in October, it was missing key players such as Kenyo Tomiyasu, Hiroyuki Ito and Hiroki Machida. The early recovery of Takai Kodai is particularly important.
A report from the "London Evening Standard" suggested that Kodai Takai is unlikely to return in the short term, so he is likely not to appear on the Japanese national team roster in November.
In November, the Japanese national team will face Ghana at Nagoya Toyota Stadium on the 14th and Bolivia at the Tokyo National Arena on the 18th.
