Turkey are wrapping their star players in cotton wool ahead of Tuesday's second round clash with co-hosts Japan.

The Turks, who take on Philippe Troussier's surprise-package side in Miyagi, have a clutch of key players who are carrying slight injuries picked up in the 3-0 win over China.

Striker Hakan Sukur, goalkeeper Rustu Recber, winger Hasan Sas, midfielder Unit Davala and striker Nihat Kahveci are all nursing knocks and only took part in light training on Sunday.

Training sessions were closed to the media but coach Senol Gunes is expected to hold a press conference on Monday morning and a final training session afterwards will be Turkey's last before the match against the Japanese.
