Japan team news

Japan will be without midfielder Hidemasa Morita and forward Ayase Ueda, both of whom withdrew from the squad due to injury. Their absences will force adjustments in Hajime Moriyasu’s lineup.

Saudi Arabia team news

Head coach Hervé Renard is likely to be without Roma defender Saud Abdulhamid, who sustained a muscle injury during the victory over China.

Al-Ittihad center-back Hassan Kadesh also limped off in that match, making his availability for Tuesday’s fixture uncertain.
