Hiroshima goalkeeper Keisuke Oshima rejoins team
Hiroshima's Japan goalkeeper Keisuke Oshima has rejoined the team for training on August 5th after leaving in late July to prepare for an overseas transfer. The move to Belgian side Saint-Gilloise fell through, allowing his return.
Transfer preparations and departure
Oshima, 28, left Hiroshima in late July to finalize what would have been his first overseas move. Belgian media reported that Saint-Gilloise ultimately decided against signing him.
Performance with Japan national team
Oshima has been a key player for Japan, helping them secure 2nd place in World Cup 2026 with 5 points (1W-2D-1L). Their most recent match ended in a 2-1 loss to Brazil, but the team has shown strong balance in both attack and defense.
Future outlook
With his return to Hiroshima, Oshima is expected to resume his role as the team's defensive leader. Fans will be watching to see if he can continue his development ahead of future international matches.
