Kubo Raises Concerns in Japan After Leaving the Field in a Wheelchair
The Japanese star Takefusa Kubo caused concern within the Japanese national team's camp after he was forced to leave the match against the Netherlands in the 2026 World Cup due to a knee injury. He was later seen leaving the stadium in a wheelchair.
A Real Sociedad player was involved in a strong collision with Dutch defender Denzel Dumfries during the second half, forcing the coaching staff to substitute him. After the match, he was seen applying ice to his left knee and having noticeable difficulty walking.
The images of him leaving the field in a wheelchair heightened concerns about the severity of the injury. However, Kubo tried to reassure the fans with statements to "DAZN," affirming that he feels fine and does not believe the injury is worrisome, before undergoing medical examinations.
The Japanese national team is awaiting the results of the tests to determine the extent of the injury, amid reports suggesting a possible knee sprain, which could jeopardize his participation in the remainder of the World Cup.
The Japanese team began its journey in the tournament with an exciting 2-2 draw against the Netherlands and is set to face Sweden in its next match.
