Miroslav Stoch was the one Chelsea player in World Cup warm-up action on Saturday.
He played for the first half of a 1-1 draw for Slovakia against Cameroon in Austria and had a big part in Kamil Kopunek's fifth-minute opener, receiving a pass, turning well inside the area and laying the ball back for a 25-yard finish.
Slovakia, who will be the only team appearing for a first time in the World Cup Finals, conceded the equalizer on 82 minutes.
Serbia were in action on the same day in the same stadium in a match affected by crowd trouble, however Branislav Ivanovic was not involved. Serbia went down to World Cup outsiders New Zealand by a single goal following a mistake from Nemanja Vidic.
On Sunday, John Terry, Ashley Cole and Frank Lampard started for England against Japan in Austria, while Joe Cole was on the bench.
Also in action are France against Tunisia, Ivory Coast against Paraguay and Nigeria versus Colombia at Milton Keynes.
The Nigerian FA have reported: 'John Mikel Obi arrived at the camp Friday morning after completing his rehabilitation exercises with medics of Chelsea.'
Also on Sunday England Under-17s aim to become European champions by beating Spain in Liechtenstein. Chelsea Academy products Josh McEachran and Nathaniel Chalobah have played a big part in the team reaching the final.
