2022/25 Ko Itakura | 2024/ Shio Fukuda | 2025/ Shuto Machino @ Borussia Mönchengladbach (GER)

Tomiyasu is not getting consistent minutes with Ajax to be honest.

At this rate, wouldn't be surprised if Moriyasu has to resort to bring Riom Ichihara and Kazunari Kita as back-up options.

But i really hope Kota Takai can recover in time.

And not sure why Shuto Machino is already not getting much minutes with Gladbach when he scored goals for them in earlier games.

 

Takai and Ando are only out for days. Maximum minor injury after their coaches. Ito will be back in around 2 weeks so that's really nothing to worry about. Stand now. It's only annoying, that's all. Also Itakura will be back and Seko also in short time. Of course things can change.

They don't want to risk anything at Tomiyasu I think but the last games he gets around 20-30 Minutes so it's a good rhythm.

 

Still out

 

Yeah but close to be back after sources and coach. I guess the didn't want to risk him against Bayern, cause the game is already lose before it's began normally ^^. No need to play him.

Muscle issues by the way.

 

Seems more serious than expected. Still out
And Machino benched as usual

 

The injury and lack of playing time crisis seems abit serve for JNT this season...

I hope Takai is fine for the World Cup in time.

And seems like Machino only gets around 20 mins on average per game this year so far.

 

Its worrying. Japan cant field 8 players with no playing time and injures when the first WC game comes.

 

Assist ! The very important 2-2 against Heidenheim. Shuto gets a start today also. Glad he is back on the scoring sheet.

 

Bench for both again

 

Bench bench

 

Machino shouldn't make the WC squad. Gladbach is a weird club also, in a bad form and they are looking like they are giving no fair chances or have a clue to use players right.

 

Takai should nt either. Only if its many injuries.

 

Yeah I hope he will get his sport back next week.
