Kubo misses training ahead of Tunisia match due to knee injury

Japan forward Takefusa Kubo was absent from Wednesday's training session after suffering a left knee injury in the team's World Cup opening match against the Netherlands. His absence raises questions about his availability for the crucial upcoming match against Tunisia.

Earlier, captain Wataru Endo was forced to bid farewell to the World Cup and retire from international football due to injury. This leaves Japan losing another key pillar as they prepare for the tough challenge against Tunisia.
