Japan midfielder Shinji Ono spent Thursday working on his fitness as he looks to make the opening World Cup Group H match with Belgium on Tuesday.

The Feyenoord man returned to full training on Wednesday after being given the all clear by medical staff following stomach pains.

Press officer Hideko Kato said the 22-year-old is a little off the pace at the moment, but should be fit for Tuesday.

He said: "He still has to work on his condition and stamina. We take no risks, but there are no problems."
