As one returns to Japan, what is going on with the Barça kids hit by FIFA ban?

It all began in 2013. Through the Catalan Football Federation, FIFA began to investigate the signing of Barcelona teenager Lee Seung Woo. 

It caught Barça by surprise. FIFA were soon investigating other players, too. 

(Koreans Paik Seung-Ho and Jang Gyeolhee, Patrice Sousia from Cameroon, French youngster Theo Chendri and the Nigerian Bobby Adekanye. One year later: Takefusa Kubo from Japan, Frenchman Kais Ruiz and Ben Lederman from the USA).

In total, nine players have had their dream of playing at Barça hit. 

For Take and his family, it has proved too much and he will return to Japan. Here is the status of the players in the spotlight.
