Set to start with Japan
Suzuki has been named in Japan's World Cup squad and is expected to start every fixture as coach Hajime Moriyasu's undisputed first choice in goal.
Analysis: Suzuki made 20 Serie A appearances for Parma this season, recording five clean sheets and 1,800 minutes across the campaign in what was another steady year for the keeper between the posts. His composure under pressure, ability to distribute with his feet and commanding presence in the box make him a natural fit for Japan's possession-based system, and manager Moriyasu will rely on him heavily throughout the competition. Suzuki heads into the World Cup as the undisputed number one for the Samurai Blue and a key pillar of Japan's defensive structure heading into what promises to be a demanding group stage.
Six saves in 1-0 loss
Suzuki registered six saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-0 loss against Como.
Analysis: Suzuki made six saves as Parma fell to a 1-0 defeat against Como. The Japanese keeper has kept give clean sheets in 20 games this season after a significant period out during the season. This was the third time this year that he has made six or more saves.
