Russia midfielder Yuri Zhirkov resumed training with the rest of the squad after training separately in the gym on Thursday, a Sputnik correspondent reported Friday.
The 34-year-old Zenit St. Petersburg player, who has been capped 84 times for Russia, was forced to miss Thursday's training session after suffering a minor foot injury.
Head coach Stanislav Cherchesov's men are currently preparing for their first FIFA World Cup match against Saudi Arabia on 14 June at their base camp in Novogorsk, just outside Moscow.
The match, set to be held at Moscow's 81,000-seater Luzhniki Stadium, will kick off the World Cup, which will end on 15 July. Hosts Russia will also face Egypt and Uruguay in Group A at the tournament.
