World Cup 2022 in Qatar Gladbach's ItaKura ready for Germany in great time

For the World Cup opening video game versus Germany on Wednesday (2 p.m./ ARD and Magenta TV), Itaúsa needs to be another choice for the beginning eleven. The Bundesliga legionnaire feels comfy in both main defense and protective midfield.

Because there are still health concern marks at Japan for numerous key gamers such as Ideas Morita or Stuttgart Water End, Ita-Lauca's timely healing for national coach Anime Marinas is particularly valuable.

Japan's protective all-rounder KO Itaúsa feels ready in time prior to the start of the World Cup. Borussia Mönchengladbach's expert highlighted that after the inner ligament tear, he was a little scared of the start of the competition and his stability.

But fear is gone, said Itaúsa Japanese media after the 1-2 of the German group opponent in the friendly versus Canada.

The 25-year-old had actually played in Dubai from the start on Thursday and had just been changed after more than an hour. At Playback, it was last only enough for a short assignment in the last minutes after a two-month break.
