Posted Tuesday, September 11, 2012 by YAHOO Sport
Manchester United's Shinji Kagawa pulled
out of Japan's home World Cup qualifier against Iraq on Tuesday
just an hour before kickoff.
The Japan Football Association (JFA) said the playmaker felt
a twinge in his lower back during training for the Group B
qualifier in Saitama.
Coach Alberto Zaccheroni decided not to risk Kagawa, whose
injury will also be a concern to United manager Alex Ferguson as
his team face Wigan Athletic at home on Saturday.
