As expected, Daisuke Nasu will be suspended for Urawa Reds’ key trip to play Kashima Antlers this Saturday.

The J.League on Monday confirmed the list of sanctioned players for matchday 12 of the MEIJI YASUDA J1 League second stage this weekend.

Veteran Reds centre-back Nasu reached the yellow card limit after picking up a booking in his side’s 4-1 win at Shimizu S-Pulse last Saturday. 

The 33-year-old has been therefore been ruled out of the first stage winners’ trip to Kashima Stadium to face joint second stage leaders Antlers.

Meanwhile, FC Tokyo will be without midfielder Hideto Takahashi when they host Matsumoto Yamaga at Ajinomoto Stadium.
