Japan will have to pull off one of the biggest results in their soccer history if it hopes to make its way past Brazil on Monday and reach the last 16 of FIFA World Cup 2026. However, such a surprise is hardly out of the question after the Samurai Blue beat Brazil for the first time when these teams last met back in October.
The stakes are far higher for Carlo Ancelotti and Co this time around, however, and the Selecao is in fine fettle after topping Group C. Japan, meanwhile, finished as runner-up behind the Netherlands in Group E but remains unbeaten at the tournament thus far.
The most notable injury news for Brazil is the possibility that Barcelona winger Raphinha will remain out of commission at Houston’s NRG Stadium. Should that be the case, Bournemouth’s Rayan should continue to deputize after assisting in the 3-0 win over Scotland last time out.
Meanwhile, former Real Madrid winger Takefusa Kubo is once again questionable to be fit for Japan head coach Hajime Moriyasu. Ajax defender Ko Itakura is also in doubt after coming off in the 1-1 draw against Swede with an apparent knock last week.
