The only players retained from the starting lineup in Colombia's second victory over Ivory Coast are goalkeeper David Ospina, left back Pablo Armero and midfielder Juan Cuadrado.

Coach Jose Pekerman could give 43-year-old goalkeeper Faryd Mondragon a few minutes as a substitute which would make him the oldest ever player to take the field at a World Cup.

The Japanese, who must win to stand any chance of joining Colombia in the knockout phase, made two changes bringing in forward Shinji Kagawa for striker Yuya Osako and midfielder Toshihiro Aoyama for Hotaru Yamaguchi.

Japan: Eiji Kawashima, Atsuto Uchida, Yuto Nagatomo, Makoto Hasebe, Yasuyuki Konno, Maya Yoshida, Yoshito Okubo, Toshihiro Aoyama, Shinji Okazaki, Keisuke Honda, Shinji Kagawa.
