Only the failure to secure a work permit prevented Akihiro Ienaga from joining Plymouth on a permanent deal in 2009. Now, after a loan spell at Cerezo Osaka where the Kyoto-born midfielder came to prominence as one of the most exciting young players in Japan, Ienaga has been snapped up by Real Mallorca. As I can't pretend to be an avid follower of J-League football, Ienaga arrives as something of an unknown quantity for me. An injury to Josep Luis Marti has opened up a place in Michael Laudrup's squad for the trip to the Vicente Calderon on Monday night and hopefully we will see something of the Japanese midfielder against Atletico Madrid.
