Jakarta (ANTARA) – Indonesian national team player Justin Hubner is very enthusiastic about undergoing his first training with his new club in Japan’s top division, Cerezo Osaka.
Hubner, who was brought in by Osaka on March 12 on loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers, underwent his first training last Friday.
In a video uploaded to the Cerezo Osaka YouTube account, Hubner is seen doing light training with his teammates by doing rondos, light jogging, push ups, sprints and practicing pass accuracy.
He admitted that he was very happy to be able to start training with his new club after having a wonderful week with the Indonesian national team in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in the Asian zone by beating Vietnam twice.
“It’s been a good week with the national team. So, I’m happy to be back training,” Hubner said via his club’s official YouTube account on Saturday.
The 20-year-old defender felt very welcome at Cerezo Osaka and considered his colleagues to be very friendly in welcoming him.

“It’s very good. Everyone is friendly, everyone tries to help me. So it’s a very good group and I really enjoy it here,” he explained.
On loan from Cerezo Osaka until the end of the year, Hubner hopes that his club will play often.
“Hopefully I get as many minutes as I can. “It is important for me to get more playing time in professional football,” said the owner of seven caps with the Indonesian national team.
Osaka will play a home match at the Yodoka Sakura Stadium against Shonan Bellmare on Saturday at 14.00 WIB in the fifth week of the Japanese League.
The club is in third place in the Japanese League standings this season with a collection of eight points or two points behind leaders Machida Zelvia.
