Manchester United midfielder Shinji Kagawa has been dropped from Japan's starting lineup for tonight's World Cup clash against Greece.
Following an opening-game defeat against Ivory Coast, manager Alberto Zaccheroni has opted to make two changes to his side, with Yoshito Okubo replacing Kagawa while Yasuyuki Konno comes in at the back in place of Matsato Morishige.
Meanwhile, Greece manager Fernando Santos has handed starts to Fulham's Konstantinos Mitroglou and Napoli winger Ioannis Fetfatzidis, as the Ethniki look to bounce back from their own loss last time out against Colombia.
