England’s veteran defender, Gary Neville is back in training and he is expected to come back to help his team.

The 31-year-old, who won his 80th cap in England’s opening 1-0 victory over Paraguay, has missed their last three games with a calf injury but should be in contention for the game in Gelsenkirchen.

“I think he will be okay for Saturday but we have practice tomorrow and Saturday as well,” said coach Sven-Gorn Eriksson.

“If we think it is a risk he will not play but if the situation is like today then I don’t think it is any risk.”

Owen Hargreaves filled in against Ecuador in England’s second round victory and if Neville returns he is likely to challenge Michael Carrick for the holding midfield role.
