Renato Augusto (Hamstring injury), Yukito Murakami (Metatarsal fracture) and Riku Nakayama (Hamstring injury) are unavailable for Ventforet Kofu boss Shinji Otsuka.
V-Varen Nagasaki boss Takahiro Shimotaira has to choose a team with limited availability. Emerson Deocleciano (Leg injury), Taisei Abe (Metatarsal fracture) and Tsubasa Kasayanagi (Foot injury) are not ready for selection.
