LONDON (Sporting Alert) — Manchester United midfielder Shinji Kagawa is among the 23-man squad announced by Japan coach Alberto Zaccheroni for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil next month.

“Shinji is an impact player for Japan,” said Zaccheroni. “He always does the job asked.”

Also being named in the World Cup squad is AC Milan forward Keisuke Honda.

“Honda, we know, has the character and power to grab the team by the scruff of the neck,” added Zaccheroni. “We hope he can do the same again.”
