Spain have two minor injury worries ahead of their World Cup Group E match against Japan on Thursday, with midfielders Gavi and Rodrigo Hernandez both currently working on their own.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Gavi spent the second day after Spain's 1-1 draw against Germany, which has put them on the verge of qualifying for the last 16, working on a static bicycle after suffering a knock on his right tibia on Sunday night, while Hernandez also worked in the gym.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Both players are expected to be available to face Japan, where a draw would be enough to see Spain into the last 16, although the Spanish need a win to ensure they qualify as group leaders, reports Xinhua.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Speaking to the press on Tuesday, midfielder Koke insisted Spain would go flat out for a win in the game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"Our strategy is to go out and try to win. You always look at your own qualification, but we have to respect our rivals," he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
