Wayne Rooney and Ashley Cole both took part in England's training session on Tuesday, having missed the session on Monday.

Rooney was forced to miss yesterday's session in order to receive treatment on a minor ankle injury sustained when he was kicked during the 1-1 draw with the USA.

However, after some work in the hotel swimming pool on Monday, Rooney returned to full training, and is expected to start England's second match against Algeria on Friday.

Cole also sat out of the session on Monday, but rarely takes part in training for club or country immediately after matches.

The only player missing was Ledley King, who continues to receive intensive treatment on his groin injury. The Football Association have stated they will assess his condition on a daily basis, but England's medical team privately fear that the defender's tournament is over.
