Tomiyasu Returns to Japan Squad After Eredivisie Debut
Ajax defender Takehiro Tomiyasu has been recalled to the Japan national team shortly after making his debut in the Eredivisie. The move comes as Tomiyasu looks to regain his form after a period hampered by injuries.
Tomiyasu recently featured in Ajax’s starting lineup, marking a significant step in his recovery. His performance was well-received, with some observers noting his strength on the field. According to Voetbal International, this return to the national team signifies a positive moment for the player.
The 25-year-old joined Ajax on a six-month deal from Arsenal, seeking consistent playing time. Flashscore.com reports that Tomiyasu described the move as a “fresh start” after a challenging period.
Dutch football analyst Hans Kraay Jr. Was particularly impressed with Tomiyasu’s debut performance, stating, ‘Dan had hij never nooit in een Ajax-shirt gespeeld’ (roughly translated as, “He would never have played in an Ajax shirt”).
Tomiyasu’s first start for Ajax was deemed a success by Ajax.nl, signaling a positive beginning to his loan spell with the Dutch club. The recall to the Japan squad provides an immediate opportunity to build on this momentum on the international stage.
