Upson feeling better after missing training

  • 14 years ago

Matthew Upson has missed England's training session once again after struggling with a fever.

The West Ham centre-back has, however, improved significantly after a high temperature prevented him from taking part in Saturday's session.

Upson was undergoing gym work on Sunday with a view to resuming full training with the other members of the 23-strong party on Monday.

A Football Association spokesman said: "Matthew is feeling a lot better. He is working in the gym today and will train tomorrow."

Ledley King was also participating with his team-mates after only undergoing gym work on Saturday.

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.
