📰 Team News: Nagoya Grampus
Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just a single fitness concern for the Nagoya Grampus manager Kenta Hasegawa to contend with from a near full-strength squad. Kazuki Nagasawa (Meniscal Injury) will miss out.
It seems likely that Nagoya Grampus should go for a 3-1-4-2 system for this one, handing starts to Mitchell Langerak, Shinnosuke Nakatani, Haruya Fujii, Yuichi Maruyama, Leo Silva, Ryoya Morishita, Sho Inagaki, Keiya Sento, Yuki Soma, Mateus and Noriyoshi Sakai.
🗞️ Team News: Cerezo Osaka
Cerezo Osaka boss Akio Kogiku has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Jin-hyeon Kim (Concussion) and Ryosuke Shindo (Calf Injury) are not able to play. Players who are serving a ban and are therefore ineligible to play are Hirotaka Tameda and Takashi Inui.
There’s a good chance that Sakura could decide to play in a 4-2-3-1 lineup, going with Jin-Hyeon Kim, Riku Matsuda, Matej Jonjic, Ryuya Nishio, Ryosuke Yamanaka, Hiroaki Okuno, Tokuma Suzuki, Seiya Maikuma, Hiroshi Kiyotake, Jean Patrick and Hiroto Yamada.
