Trio miss training

Ashley Cole and John Terry, who were substituted in the first half of the 6-0 thumping of Jamaica after suffering thigh and knee injuries, joined David Beckham on the sidelines in England's last training session before the squad flew out to Germany.

Beckham missed the kickabout after picking up a minor ankle injury in Saturday's rout. But none of the problems are serious and the trio were only rested as a precaution.

There was some good news during the final training session, though, as injury doubts Gary Neville and Wayne Rooney - later seen to doing a scissor-kick, no less - were both able to undertake some light work.

FA spokesman Adrian Bevington said: "Gary Neville and Wayne Rooney were working with the physios during the session.

"Gary is expected to train tomorrow while Wayne will continue with the rehabilitation of his foot with England's medical team.

"John Terry, Ashley Cole and David Beckham, who had a kick on his right ankle on Saturday, did not train.

"This was purely precautionary with all three players. Sven fully expects all three to be training this week and available for Saturday's opener against Paraguay."
