Russia coach Oleg Romantsev is waiting on the fitness of a trio of players as he begins his final preparations for the Group H opener against Tunisia on June 5.

Aleksandr Mostovoi, Veaceslav Daev and Yuri Nikiforov are all undergoing treatment at the Russians' Simidzu base in a bid to be fit for the big kick-off.

Celta Vigo skipper Mostovoi was injured against Yugoslavia in the LG Cup whilst Daev and Nikiforov have suffered slight knocks in training after arriving from Moscow.

The team doctors have advised all three to avoid training with the rest of the squad and concentrate on gym work.
