Upgraded to group training
Kubo (knee) was allowed back into team training Sunday ahead of Monday's match against Brazil, according to Football Zone.
Analysis: Kubo has been added back to team training a day before Japan takes the field against Brazil, a huge boost to his health. He did claim to the media he was "in a good state," although it still appears his usage against Brazil will be unlikely. This will likely leave Japan needing to win if Kubo wants to return to the field again this tournament, potentially earning a bench spot Monday, but unlikely to see time if this is the case.
Only training individually
Kubo (knee) is back on the training pitch but is only able to train individually, bringing doubts to his inclusion against Brazil on Monday, according to Football Zone.
Analysis: Kubo is on the road to recovery this week, but still is not able to train with his teammates, as the attacker has been left to train individually. This unfortunately puts the attacker closer to missing their round of 32 match against Brazil, as it seems unlikely he will see a boost by then. This will leave them without a major piece in the attack, if this is the case, unlikely to be close to 100 percent even if he is deemed fully fit.
