In the day we are all waiting for Rooney’s scan results, Gerrard missed a training and sent cold shivers to all English fans. Fortunately, there is no serious problem.

England 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.
