(Reuters) - Ritsu Doan and Takefusa Kubo will not be on Japan's squad for this month's World Cup qualifiers against Vietnam and Oman as the two continue to recover from injury.

Doan hurt his knee during training for Japan's loss against Saudi Arabia last month and has yet to return to action for club side PSV Eindhoven after being ruled out for a month.

Head coach Hajime Moriyasu called up winger Kaoru Mitoma as well as strikers Daizen Maeda and Ayase Ueda in a squad that features six changes from the one selected for October's vital win over Australia. The Japanese, who have qualified for every World Cup since 1998, have struggled so far, with Moriyasu under pressure after just two wins in their opening four games in the final phase of Asian preliminaries for Qatar 2022.
