Japan will be without star striker Ayase Ueda for November's Asian qualifiers against Indonesia and China.

In the same year he lifted the AFC Asian Cup, Akram Afif has once again been recognised as the continent's Player of the Year.

With Indonesia's influx of foreign-born imports, Shin Tae-Yong now faces a tricky balancing act.
