Despite struggling to get a game for Arsenal, Junichi Inamoto is scheduled to join up for Japan before the friendly against Poland next week.

Inamoto has yet to appear in the Premier League, and is reported to be unhappy with the possibility of missing out on the World Cup on home turf in Japan.

Manager Arsène Wenger has ruled out any loan move for the midfielder to the J-League. With more and more teammates returning from injury, and Edu making his mark as Patrick Vieira's midfield partner, Inamoto needs to impress in the warm-up internationals.
