Absent from training

Machino was not in training Friday ahead of Sunday's match against Tunisia due to an apparent illness, according to Football Zone.

Analysis: Machino was not with his teammates in training on Friday as Japan trained to get ready to face Tunisia, with the forward back at the hotel with an illness. Luckily for the team, this appears as only a loss of depth at the moment, as he didn't appear in the opener. However, the team will want to keep options available as they move forward, as another attacker, Takefusa Kubo (knee), is already injured.

Japan call-up confirmed

Machino has been called up to Japan's World Cup squad as a replacement for the injured Wataru Endo, according to Gekisaka.

Analysis: Machino joins the group ahead of Japan's World Cup opener against the Netherlands, stepping into a squad that has been forced to reorganize following the loss of their captain. The Borussia Monchengladbach forward brings attacking depth and goal-scoring ability to a Japanese side that will need to find solutions up front throughout the tournament. His call-up gives coach Hajime Moriyasu an additional offensive option as Japan prepare to compete in Group F alongside the Netherlands, Sweden and Tunisia.
