Good news for England this morning as Michael Owen trains with the rest of the squad at Manchester United's Carrington training ground.
The Real Madrid forward has been recovering from a slight hamstring problem picked up in Spain at the weekend. But, after receiving treatment and taking part in a light session yesterday, Owen joins his teammates ahead of Saturday's showdown with Wales.
The only player not training today is goalkeeper David James. He woke this morning with fluid on his knee and will miss today's session as a precautionary measure.
All other members of England's 23-man squad will take to the training pitch today as we move closer to the World Cup Qualifier with Wales at Old Trafford.
