Ukraine goalkeeper Oleksandr Shovkovskiy is confident of being fully fit and back to his best for his country's debut at the World Cup finals.

The 31-year-old Dynamo Kyiv star broke his collarbone in January in a friendly, but is now back in action and desperate to be ready for the summer showpiece in Germany.

Shovkovskiy said: "Rehabilitation after such a serious break is no small matter, but I didn't feel particularly nervous.

"It's vital for me to regain my confidence as quickly as possible. Training is one thing, but it doesn't compare with a match.

"I know that Ukraine's coaches are watching me and I will do everything to be in ideal form for the World Cup."
