The Japanese national soccer team has announced the list of national soccer teams where Takehiro Tomiyasu (28, Arsenal) has returned.

The Japan Football Association (JFA) announced on the 19th the list of 28 members of the Japanese national soccer team's two consecutive A matches. Japan will play Scotland at Hampden Park in Glasgow at 2 a.m. on the 29th (Korea time) and England at Wembley Stadium in London at 3:45 a.m. on April 1.

Japan's 'Scar Magazine' explained, "This is the last away warm-up match in England ahead of the announcement of the World Cup finals scheduled for May."

A large number of Japanese star players were excluded from the list due to injuries. Long-term defectors such as Endo Wataru (Liverpool) and Minamino Takumi (AS Monaco), as well as Kubo Takefusa (Real Sociedad) and Itakura Ko (Ajax), were missing.

The vacancy was filled with new resources. Takehiro, who suffered from long-term injuries, caught the eye after boarding for the first time in a year and nine months. In addition, Shigai Kento, who raised his stock price by moving from NEC Neymehen in the Netherlands to Wolfsburg in Germany this winter, was selected for the A team for the first time.

Tomiyasu had a long hiatus suffering from frequent injuries. Eventually, he was released by Arsenal last year, but signed a short-term contract with Ajax through the winter transfer market. He played five league games this season, boosting his form to the fullest, and succeeded in re-election for the national team.

Japanese fans are also actively welcoming the return, saying they need Tomiyasu for next year's 2026 FIFA North and Central America World Cup. Recently, "Nikan Sports" expressed its fans' reactions, saying, "I'll be waiting," "I really need Tommy (Tommy Yasu) in 2026 FIFA North and Central America World Cup," "Tommy Yasu should be in the best 11 of the Japanese national team," and "Tommy Yasu will definitely play in the World Cup."

According to Soccer Magazine, Moriyasu said, "Since the convocation period has been empty for a long time since November, I want to check the basic concept once again and build up my organization," adding, "It is to share team tactics with more players."
