The Blue Samurai have lost four of their last five games following Sunday's 2-1 defeat by England, although Okada was able to take positives from the loss which saw him use a previously untried 4-1-4-1 formation.

With Japan opening their World Cup campaign against Cameroon in Bloemfontein on June 14, Okada has arranged for an extra 45 minutes tomorrow against the Ivorians, who begin their campaign against Portugal on June 15.

"I want to give everyone a run-out," Okada said. "Both sides will give the reserve players a game."
