Hiroki Sakai
35-Year-Old
Urawa Red Diamonds
In squad Thursday
Sakai (thigh) was named to the match-day squad versus Spain on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Sakai was an unused substitute in Japan's previous contest, so there is no guarantee that he is actually fit enough to get onto the pitch. Still, the defender is an option if needed based on his inclusion in the squad.
