YEKATERINBURG, Russia (Reuters) - Senegal are not unduly worried about taking on Japan in Sunday's Group H clash despite the Asians possessing plenty of technical quality across the pitch, the African team's coach Aliou Cisse said on Saturday.

Japan defeated 10-man Colombia 2-1 in their opening game, a surprise win that has given Akira Nishino's side a good chance of progressing to the last-16 for only the third time.
