Nigeria defender Celestine Babayaro was able to train with his team-mates for the first time on Tuesday after joining up with the rest of the World Cup squad.

Babayaro, who plays his club football for Chelsea, had until Monday to reach the training camp or lose his place in the side after staying in London to receive treatment on a thigh injury.

He was due to arrive in Hiratsuka last week but did not provide an acceptable explanation to the authorities for his failure to turn up.

The Nigerian squad will gather in Ibaraki on Friday to prepare for their first Group F match against Argentina.
