The midfielder Shunsuke Nakamura will play while injured to try and ensure Japan reaches the 2010 World Cup finals and help Celtic chase a domestic treble. Despite recent groin and knee problems, the midfielder has made himself available for the World Cup qualifier against Australia in Yokohama on Feb 11 - four days before Celtic's next Old Firm derby against Rangers. "It would be better to have a week in Japan, but there's nothing I can do about it," he said.
