Shimizu S-Pulse on Sunday announced that striker Kazuya Murata will need four weeks to recover from a fractured left collarbone.
The 26-year-old suffered the injury in a training match against Nagoya Grampus on September 27.
Murata joined S-Pulse in 2013 and has managed one goal in 14 appearances for S-Pulse this season.
His side are currently last in the MEIJI YASUDA J1 League second stage standings, after being defeated 1-0 by Matsumoto Yamaga on Saturday.
