TOKYO, Oct 10 (Reuters) - Gamba Osaka defender Tsuneyasu Miyamoto will miss Japan's friendly international against Jamaica on October 16 after damaging knee ligaments in training, officials of the J-League club said on Thursday.

Miyamoto, who helped co-hosts Japan reach the second round of the FIFA World Cup" despite playing with a broken nose, injured his right knee while tackling a team mate in training and will be out of action for at least four weeks.

New Japan coach Zico had named the 25-year-old in a 22-man squad for his first match in charge at National Stadium in Tokyo.
