Fabio Capello put his players through their paces in the Olympic Stadium in Barcelona on Friday evening as they prepare for their first World Cup qualifier, the Group Six clash with Andorra.

Only Rio Ferdinand did not take part in the session, the Manchester United defender a confirmed absentee from the match on Saturday evening.

In humid sunshine the players got a taste of the stadium, but for many it is the second time in as many years that they had played in the home of Espanyol - England claimed a 3-0 win here 18 months ago.

For Capello it is the stadium that will witness his first competitive game in charge of England after five friendlies since becoming Manager in January.
