This morning it was back to business for Sven's men as they prepare for Wednesda

This morning it was back to business for Sven's men as they prepare for Wednesday's crucial Group 7 game against Turkey. Following the departures of Jermaine Jenas and Francis Jeffers to the Under-21s and Owen Hargreaves' return to Munich through injury, 22 of the original squad of 25 remain at England training base, Slaley Hall. The first full training session after the Liechtenstein game, however, saw only 20 players put through their paces...

"David and Kieron are resting this morning," The FA's Head of Communications, Paul Newman, told TheFA.com.

"David has blisters on his feet from Saturday and Kieron, who we are all aware has suffered some injury problems in the past, is having a general recovery session that keeps him out this morning."

Newman added: "Neither are serious concerns."
