World Cup:Matthew Upson was the only absentee from England's training session at their Bafokeng headquarters in South Africa, while Spain goalkeeper Iker Casillas was highly critical of his England counterparts.
The West Ham centre-back had improved significantly after a high temperature had prevented him from taking part in yesterday's session.
Upson took part in gym work today with a view to resuming full training with the other members of the 23-strong party tomorrow.
"Matthew is feeling a lot better. He is working in the gym today and will train tomorrow," said and English FA.
Ledley King was also participating with his team-mates after only undergoing gym work yesterday.
The Tottenham defender could have a greater role to play in the squad with Rio Ferdinand ruled out of the tournament with knee ligament damage.
Casillas, meanwhile, fired something of a broadside by suggesting England’s goalkeepers are the weak link to their hopes of winning the World Cup.
The Spain and Real Madrid number one has questioned the big-match temperament of Robert Green, David James and Joe Hart ahead of the tournament, which gets under way on Friday.
None of the England goalkeeping trio featured for their club sides in Europe last season, while both Portsmouth’s James and Green of West Ham lined up for teams battling relegation from the Premier League.
And Casillas, a key member of Spain’s Euro 2008-winning squad, believes top teams will be able to expose England’s frailties in that area.
“I can see why both Lionel Messi and Xavi have talked up England’s chances at the World Cup because their class is undisputed. But their goalkeeping situation is a real problem,” said Casillas.
“None of the keepers have played even European Cup level, that’s the highest level you can play at club level.
“And if you have never played in the top club competition in the world, you are going to find it hard to perform at the top international level in the world when even more eyes are on you.
“If you look at myself, Gigi Buffon of Italy and Julio Cesar of Brazil, we are keepers who’ve all won European Championships, World Cups and European Cups.
“At this level nerves play a big part and any mistake a goalkeeper makes is going to be scrutinised.
“It’s not always about ability at the World Cup, it’s about having been there before and knowing how to handle the big games.”
England coach Fabio Capello has left England’s fans guessing as to who his number one will be in South Africa, but Casillas believes he knows who will get the nod.
“I don’t see that England coach Fabio Capello has any choice but to play Robert Green,” added the Spaniard.
“It doesn’t matter if Joe Hart has more natural ability. To throw him into the World Cup with no experience would be crazy and Fabio is far more intelligent than that.
“He has stuck with Robert Green throughout the qualifying stages and that is the way I am sure it will stay.”
Despite his obvious reservations about the England squad, Casillas added: “Apart from the keeper situation, England are very strong and I’d put them in the top three favourites, along with us and Brazil.”
