This article is from India. There's mention on Japanese players in India in this season.

 

Looks like Ryuki Kozawa is the only player mentioned to have ever played minutes in the J-League, which makes the article a bit misleading. BTW Izumi has 9 caps for India and Son has been called up to the North Korea NT.

 

This should be interesting.. correct me if i am wrong.. are these players playing in lower leagues in Europe?
