What is the team news?
Ange Postecoglou has reported good news from Tokyo, with defender Ben Davies now back in the frame ahead of Saturday’s game following injury.
Of the players who have travelled, Richarlison and Destiny Udogie remain sidelined as they continue to work their way back to fitness.
As previously reported, Radu Dragusin won’t feature in the Japan leg of the tour following his involvement at Euro 2024.
Cristian Romero, Giovani Lo Celso, Rodrigo Bentancur and Micky van de Ven are also still away following their exploits at this summer’s international tournaments.
What colours will the teams be playing in?
Vissel Kobe play in a dark red kit, which fades downwards towards the socks to a lighter shade of red via a gradient effect.
Their goalkeeper will wear green.
We’ll be wearing our new home kit, featuring Lilywhite shirts with navy blue sleeves, navy blue shorts and white socks.
Our keeper will be in yellow.
What will the weather conditions be like?
Saturday will be another hot day in Tokyo, with thundery showers possible when we come to kick-off time. Temperatures will be at around 30 degrees.
