Celtic forward Daizen Maeda has withdrawn from the Japan squad for their upcoming match against Brazil.
The 27-year-old missed his country's 2-2 draw with Paraguay on Friday through injury.
Japanese outlet Gekisaka reports that the Japan Football Association (JFA) has confirmed that Maeda still has tightness in his left foot and has dropped out of the squad for Tuesday's clash with Carlo Ancelotti's side.
The extent of his issue remains to be seen.
