The leader of the Japanese national team suffered a knee injury. During this match, he fell to the ground in a strange way and twisted his knee; An event that can cause him to be away from the field for a long time and his need for special rehabilitation care. Earlier this summer, this volleyball player suffered from neck problems during the League of Nations, however, this issue did not stop him from shining in the international arena.

Now the recent injury situation of Ishikawa has been mentioned by the head coach of his club. "We were unlucky the evening before the match," said Mustafa Kavaz, the head coach of Zareem Bank. Yuki felt pain in his groin. He immediately went for an MRI that night. "He was in pain the morning before the race and the day before."

He further explained: "Considering that this is a risk for him and the future of the team, we put Ishikawa on the bench. He had already suffered minor back, neck and knee injuries during the summer. Therefore, we felt it was not the right decision to take a risk on a player who cannot give 100% of his power, both for the team and for himself. This was a decision made with the cooperation of the medical team."
