Will Ospreay is fit to return to action for tonight's G1 Climax.

The Brit underwent an examination yesterday after picking up a neck injury during his A Block match with SANADA on Night 3 of the tournament, which forced him to sit out of a scheduled tag team appearance on Monday.

NJPW have confirmed that Ospreay is now cleared to return to action, and will face off against Kota Ibushi in Korakuen Hall on Night 5 as planned.

He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
