The Russian team's World Cup preparations were disturbed on Sunday by news of an accident at the nuclear plant near to their Simidzu base.

Around 20 litres of radioactive water escaped from a reactor in the nearby town of Hamaoka just hours before they arrived.

The cause of the accident are still unknown although a similar accident occurred at the same plant in November.

However, the local authorities have assured the Russians that they have nothing to worry about.

Oleg Romantsev and his players have one last warm-up match - against local J-League side Simidzu S-Pulse on May 30 - before their opener against Tunisia on June 5.
