Goalkeeper Zion Suzuki was dropped from Japan's squad Friday as coach Hajime Moriyasu made his selections for next month's World Cup qualifiers against Myanmar and Syria.
The inexperienced Suzuki was Moriyasu's first-choice goalkeeper at the Asian Cup in Qatar this year but he made a series of errors before Japan went out in the quarter-finals.
The 21-year-old, whose father is Ghanaian and mother Japanese, was also racially abused online at the tournament.
Japan have already booked their place in the next round of World Cup qualifiers, going through without kicking a ball in March when FIFA said their away game against North Korea would not be rescheduled.
North Korea were supposed to stage the game in the capital Pyongyang but, five days before the game, officials abruptly said the isolated country could not play host, without giving a reason.
Liverpool's Wataru Endo and Real Sociedad's Takefusa Kubo were among 26 players named by Moriyasu to face Myanmar in Yangon on June 6 and Syria in Hiroshima five days later.
"In these two games, I'd like to try out some new players and systems and really bed in the tactics heading into the final round of qualifiers," said
Moriyasu.
Moriyasu also omitted winger Junya Ito, who left the Asian Cup after Japanese police said he was under investigation over an alleged sexual assault in
Osaka last year.
Ito denies the allegation and is suing his accusers for 200 million yen ($1.3 million) in damages.
Moriyasu also left Ito out of his squad for World Cup qualifiers in March, saying he wanted to "protect" the player.
Brighton winger Kaoru Mitoma, who has not played for his club since February through injury, was also absent.
Moriyasu handed a first call-up to striker Yuito Suzuki, who plays for Danish side Brondby.

Bangladesh's shameful defeat to USA
Incredible! Awesome! Unthinkable!
In exactly which words would you apply to describe such a victory for the relatively weak United States? The Tigers entered the field against the United States with the mercury of expectation.

Al-Hilal coach reveals timeline to Neymar's return
Brazilian poster boy Neymar Jr. was injured in February last year. Since then, this star footballer has been out of the field. As a result, he could not play any match for the new club Al Hilal this season.
Neymar has also been ruled out of the upcoming Copa America due to injury. Without him, the five-time world champions will enter the field in the fight for excellence in South America. However, his club Al-Hilal is hoping to get him at the end of the year. The coach of the team, Jorge Jesus, also gave a glimpse of something like that.
In a press conference last Tuesday, Jesus commented, 'The time they have given Neymar to fully recover is usually between 10 and 11 months. Neymar will therefore not be fit for the start of next season. We hope he will be fit to play by September, October.'
Neymar joined Al-Hilal from PSG on a two-year contract last August. The Brazilian poster boy played just five matches for the Saudi club before getting injured. However, without the 32-year-old footballer, Al-Hilal went undefeated in 34 matches and won the Saudi Pro League title.
