Does Moriyasu’s depth claim hold despite Mitoma and Minamino missing?

Question

## Moriyasu’s depth claim is plausible on paper, but the squad’s World Cup depth will only be proven in Qatar.

Accepted Answer

Moriyasu says Japan have “greater strength in depth than ever,” and the squad does contain several experienced options despite the losses of Kaoru Mitoma and Takumi Minamino. Japan also arrive with strong recent results, including a 3-2 win over Brazil and a 1-0 win over England, but those results do not by themselves prove how the team will cope without two attackers who were central to the discussion.
