Wales rugby player returning home early from Japan tour because of a concussion
Carter was concussed following a heavy collision which forced referee Damian Schneider to immediately stop play in Kitakyushu on Saturday.
There was instant concern for the lock forward and Carter underwent several minutes of treatment on the field. A stretcher was called before the 24-year-old player was replaced.
The Welsh Rugby Union announced Carter has been released from the squad and will be heading home on Wednesday.
Wales lost the first test 24-19 for a record-extending 18th straight defeat. The second test is in Kobe on Saturday.

India captain Gill accuses England of violating 'spirit of the game' ahead of 4th cricket test
MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Tensions are rising ahead of the fourth test between England and India at Old Trafford. India captain Shubman Gill said Tuesday that England had acted against the 'spirit of the game' by delaying play in last week's heated third test at Lord's. Gill was not happy about England batsmen Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett being late to the crease on the third day of the test, which the host won by 22 runs to take a 2-1 series lead. A flashpoint came when England's openers had to bat out the final seven minutes, but India was only able to get through one over. 'A lot of people have been talking about it, so let me just clear the air once and for all,' Gill said. 'The English batsmen on that day had seven minutes of play left, they were 90 seconds late to come to the crease. Not 10, not 20 — 90 seconds late." Gill went on to say England's actions were "not something that comes in the spirit of the game.' There were a number of clashes between players over the next two days of the test. England can secure a series victory with a win in the fourth test, which starts Wednesday. England captain Ben Stokes said his team would not look to antagonize India but would not back down, either. 'It's not something we're going to go out and purposefully look to start (an argument) because that will take our focus off what we need to do out in the middle,' he said. 'But by no means, we are not going to take a backward step and let any opposition try and be confrontational towards us and not try to give a bit back. 'That goes for most teams, so it is not like we are the only team who does that.' ___ James Robson is at ___ AP soccer:

Liverpool in talks with €50m WONDERKID to replace Luis Diaz
The future of Luis Diaz remains very much undecided. Although the Liverpool winger flew out with the rest of the squad for the Asian pre-season tour, it remains to be seen whether he will be a Red come the end of the transfer window. Diaz, 28, is out of contract in 2027 and the signs are not promising for a renewal. The Colombian would like a deal which matches his expectations - said to be around £140k to £150k per week - but sporting director Richard Hughes has so far not ceded to those demands. Diogo Jota: Thank you With time ticking down on his deal, the Anfield side are said to be considering a sale for Diaz as long as his €100m valuation is met. Bayern Munich are perhaps closest to doing a deal for Diaz but we must also bear in mind Al-Nassr as Cristiano Ronaldo is reported to want a link-up with the former Porto star. Who can replace Luis Diaz? If Diaz leaves then Liverpool have a decision to make. Do they go into the season with Cody Gakpo and perhaps Florian Wirtz as their senior options for the left wing? Will Rio Ngumoha see his minutes stepped up after impressing in pre-season? Or will the club decision-makers see fit to add a high-quality replacement in the summer transfer window? According to a new report in Caught Offside, Liverpool are considering the signing of Malick Fofana - the 20-year-old Lyon winger who has enjoyed a breakout season. Liverpool hold discussions over Fofana The Belgian international is valued at €50m to €60m and his sale could go a long way towards solving Lyon's ongoing financial problems. The report claims that Liverpool have held discussions with the representatives of the left-wing starlet - who scored five goals and added four assists in 16 Ligue 1 starts last season. But the Premier League champions will have to contend with a clutch of competing teams for Fofana's signature.
