Vissel Kobe on Sunday announced that midfielder Ryo Matsumura will require roughly two months to recover from a torn hamstring.
The 21-year-old suffered the injury last week during the team’s training camp in Okinawa.
Matsumura, who joined Vissel in 2012, spent last season on loan at Tochigi SC where he made 23 appearances in the 2015 MEIJI YASUDA J2 League.
