Score game tying goal Kamada scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Netherlands.

Impact Kamada was the hero for Japan on Saturday, delivering the game-tying goal from a set piece to secure a 2-2 draw against group favorites Netherlands. It was his only shot on target, while he also contributed two crosses and took one corner. The goal was especially surprising given that the Crystal Palace midfielder went the entire Premier League season without scoring, marking his first goal in any competition since his time with Lazio in 2023/24. Kamada isn't likely to become a consistent scoring threat moving forward, but he remains a player to monitor on all set-piece opportunities for Japan throughout the World Cup.

Versatile midfielder for Japan Kamada has been named in Japan's World Cup squad and is expected to be one of the most important midfield presences for Japan throughout the competition.

Impact Kamada made 46 appearances for Crystal Palace this season, contributing one goal and five assists in all competitions, demonstrating the complete box-to-box profile that makes him so valuable to manager Moriyasu's system. The versatile midfielder brings a rare combination of technical quality, defensive intensity and goal threat that gives Japan a different midfield profile to many Asian nations, and his ability to win the ball and immediately play forward makes him an essential component of the Samurai Blue's pressing game. Kamada heads into the World Cup as one of Japan's most complete midfielders and the engine room of a team capable of causing genuine upsets at the tournament.

Impact Kamada will miss at least another match but is nearing a return to play, with the attacker set for a scan and to train next week. The club will then hope this leads to a return when facing Brighton on Feb. 8. That said, he will still need to see some further training and pass his testing, although this would give them a major boost with the return of a regular starter.

Impact Kamada will need at least eight to 10 weeks to recover from a serious hamstring injury that he suffered against Manchester City on Sunday. The Japanese midfielder will likely be targeting a return in late February at best, for the clash against Wolves on Feb. 21, although a return in early March could also be an option. This is a big blow for Palace, since Kamada is an undisputed starter in midfield and his absence will force a change in the starting XI, with Will Hughes or Jefferson Lerma set for greater roles in the heart of the game while he is out.

Impact Kamada appears to be heading for the sidelines until likely the new year, as the midfielder suffered a hamstring injury that will keep him out for a few weeks. With the midfielder not having missed out since the second match of the season, this is a major blow to the club. With an expected return in a few weeks and likely not coming until the first or second week of January, this will force a change, with Will Hughes and Jefferson Lerma set to receive more time.

This is a tough loss for the club if he continues on the sidelines for more time, as he has yet to miss a start since the second match of the season. He was replaced by Will Hughes, a possible replacement moving forward alongside Jefferson Lerma.

Quiet in draw Kamada had two shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 0-0 draw against Brighton.

Impact Kamada had a day to forget against Brighton, as he failed to put either of his shots on goal and his lone cross was wayward. The midfielder just couldn't find any room to operate against Brighton and had to settle for a draw. Kamada has started the last nine matches, but has no goal contributions and just six chances created in that span.

Forced off Saturday Kamada (undisclosed) suffered an apparent issue and was forced off in the 78th minute of Saturday's 2-0 victory against Brentford.

Impact Kamada contributed two shots and one tackle before being forced off in the 78th minute of Saturday's clash against the Bees due to an apparent issue. The attacking midfielder will likely be assessed in the coming days to get a better vision of the issue and if he has to miss some time to recover. If this is the case, Justin Devenny will likely see a greater role in the midfield for Palace.
