Roy Hodgson finally had some much-needed good news on Friday morning when all 23 members of his reshaped England squad for Euro 2012 were able to begin training at Wembley.
Hodgson has lost Frank Lampard and Gareth Barry from his plans for Poland and Ukraine this week, while there are serious doubts over the form of another central midfielder, Scott Parker.
However, ahead of Saturday's final friendly with Belgium, two other doubts, Glen Johnson (toe) and Danny Welbeck (ankle), were at least able to start training, although Hodgson had previously expressed doubts either man would be fit for his first game at Wembley.
There was a minor scare, when Arsenal's Theo Walcott stopped during the session to have some strapping applied to both feet.
He was eventually able to continue though and will come into contention for the Belgium game.
