AL SHAMAL, Qatar (Reuters) - Germany forward Niclas Fuellkrug, who scored the winner in their last warmup game against Oman on Wednesday, missed his team's first training on Qatari soil with a flu virus, the team said on Saturday.

Germany took to the pitch at the Al Shamal stadium in the northern tip of Qatar as they prepare for their opening World Cup Group E match against Japan on Wednesday.

The forward, the highest-scoring German player in the Bundesliga this season with 10 goals, snatched the winner on his Germany debut after coming on as a substitute on Wednesday for a 1-0 win.
