In the US, FOX and Universo will be showing the match and kick off is at 2pm EST and 11am PT. Those hoping to watch the game in Japan will have to tune in at 4am while it will be an 8pm kick off in Spain. Team newsThere are untimely injury issues for Hajime Moriyasu to deal with. Takehiro Tomiyasu went into the World Cup as a doubt and he doesn’t look likely to be ready for a start as fellow defender Hiroki Sakai is also battling a knock which could limit his minutes in this one. Midfielder Wataru Endo started both of the other group games at this World Cup but he too may miss out against Spain with a knee injury that has kept him out of training. Luis Enrique only has one slight injury worry as Gavi is unlikely to start after missing training between the two matches.
Ritsu Doan and Takuma Asano proved to be the match winners against Germany and will hope to be involved once more, while Wataru Endo and Daichi Kamada should start.

A draw would secure their place in the last 16, while a win would make sure they claim top spot. However, this will be no easy game against a Japan side who are also trying to achieve the same thing. The Samurai Blue recorded a remarkable 2-1 victory over Germany, but a 1-0 defeat to Costa Rica has left them with plenty to do. When is Japan vs Spain? Japan vs Spain will kick-off at 7pm (GMT) on Thursday, December 1 at the Khalifa International Stadium in Al Rayyan, Qatar. This will be just the second ever meeting between the two sides, having avoided each other in each of the six previous World Cups in which Japan have qualified for, along with the 2013 Confederations Cup. Their only meeting took place in April 2001 as Spain ran out 1-0 winners in an international friendly at the Estadio Nuevo Arcangel in Cordoba, where Ruben Baraja scored a 90th minute winner for the hosts.
Captain Koke could deputise alongside Pedri while Sergio Busquets — who is carrying a yellow card — could be rotated with the latter stages of the tournament in mind. Spain haven’t quite confirmed their place in the last-16 but Enrique might choose to make an alteration or two against Japan with fitness in mind.

Spain (4-3-3): Simon, Carvajal, Garcia, Laporte, Balde; Rodri, Pedri, Koke; Torres, Morata, Olmo.

They were excellent in their first game as they came from behind to beat Germany 2-1, giving themselves the perfect platform to qualify for the knockouts. But that hard work was soon somewhat undone as they lost 1-0 against expected Group E whipping boys Costa Rica. It leaves them needing something against Spain to make it into the next round. Spain were similar to Japan in the way that they started the World Cup in style.
