England squad received a significant boost today with both Michael Owen and the captain David Beckham in training again. Both of the players are likely to start the World Cup qualifier against Austria on Saturday.
Michael Owen suffered a leg injury and did not appear in Newcastle's Premiership match against Portsmouth. However, he was given green light by England's physio Gary Lewin yesterday, and went through full training session today David Beckham stayed in Spain to look after his ill son Romeo. He also rejoined the squad today and attended entire training session.
England coach Sven-Goran Eriksson is determined to reverse to 4-4-2 formation after the experiment with 4-5-1 failed against Northern Ireland. Although there is a tough competition for several positions, Eriksson said in an interview earlier this week that he has already made his mind about the squad.
