Manchester City midfielder Gareth Barry has been involved with England's training session in Rustenburg this morning, participating in the squad's warm-up before the coaches assess the situation.
It looks now though as if Barry's recovery from an ankle injury sustained towards the end of last season is well on course, with some speculation hinting that he might be fit enough to take a place on the bench for th Three Lions' opening group game against the United States on June 12.
Initial assesments of the injury had indicated that Barry was unlikley to be available until after the game witrh the USA.
Tottenham Hotspur centre-back Ledley King also headed out onto the trainig pitch at Rustenburg with him expected to take a relatively full part in the session.
Goalkeeper Davd James was not present with the rest of the squad, but he was believed to be following his own personal training programme in the gym.
