The England Team trained on Saturday morning at Arsenal's London Colney training ground.

Following Wednesday night's Champions League Final, the Manchester United and Chelsea players met up on early on Saturday and had a light jog while the rest of the players took part in shooting and crossing drills.

New players on the senior team training ground were Phil Jagielka and the Under-21s David Wheater, Joe Hart, Gabriel Agbonlahor and Tom Huddlestone. There was also another unfamiliar face following the late call-up of Under-21 keeper Joe Lewis.

The Peterborough stopper has been called in to gain experience in training with Fabio Capello's men following injury concerns over Chris Kirkland.

Kirkland was sent home from the squad to rest after having muscle spasms in his back and looks set to miss Wednesday's game against USA at Wembley.
