Hajime Moriyasu made no mention of Kypgo Furuhashi as he named his squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Australia and Vietnam later this month.Â
The Celtic striker hasn’t played since December 26 but with a 27 man squad named for the World Cup qualifiers he could have been included if there was any chance of being ready for the games on March 24 and 29.Â
News about Kyogo’s recovery from injury has been thin on the ground with Ange Postecoglou waiting until there is a return to training before making any comment.Â

Last week the Celtic manager announced that he expected David Turnbull to be back training this week with the former Motherwell man injuring his hamstring the week before Kyogo pulled up 15 minutes into the December 26 clash against St Johnstone.Â
After the Ross County match there is a 15 days gap before Celtic travel to Ibrox with fans looking out for any sign that the former Vissel Kobe striker is ready to resume where he signed off at Hampden in December.Â
