Buhlertal - England's World Cup
midfielder Steven Gerrard missed their training session on
Wednesday due to a sore back.
Gerrard, who had sat out the closing minutes of Tuesday's
first session at Buhlertal with a stiff back, was rested as a
precautionary measure, an FA spokesman said.
England will be counting on the authoritative midfielder to
be alongside Frank Lampard in central midfield when their group
B campaign starts on Saturday against Paraguay.
England also play Trinidad & Tobago and Sweden.
