San Diego running back LaDainian Tomlinson is confident he will put on a show for the Wembley fans, despite a lingering toe injury.

The Chargers take on the New Orleans Saints in London on Sunday, the second year in a row that the NFL has brought a regular-season game to England.

Tomlinson, one of the NFL's elite running backs having been an All-Pro selection in each of the last four years, will be the marquee name on show.

The 29-year-old has been struggling with a toe problem but has declared himself fit and ready to strut his stuff for the Wembley fans.

"The toe is not an issue any more," he said.

"I really expect to be as close to 100 percent as it's been since I hurt it, and I'm just looking forward to a good game on Sunday."

Of the trip to England, he added: "It does make you want to put on a good show because you know the world is watching.

"That's the reason why we're here. We're here to expose our game in a great way, to show how great this game really is, so obviously we're happy to be here."
