England national team and Manchester United right back Gary Neville started training with his teammates on Thursday, but it is still uncertain whether he will be ready for the round of 16 match against Ecuador, which will take place on June 25 in the city of Stuttgart.
The 31-year-old defender suffered a calf injury last week, causing him to miss two England national team matches against Trinidad and Tobago and Sweden.
G. Neville underwent an x-ray on Wednesday, which showed positive results, prompting the defender to return to training. He trained with England national team physiotherapist Gary Lewin, and now the player has stated that he will try not to overdo it in training and regain his form by Friday.
England national team head coach Sven-Goran Eriksson will allow G. Neville to fully recover from the injury since he has other options to fill his position.
Jamie Carragher did not perform convincingly in the matches against Trinidad and Sweden, but he will likely take G. Neville's position on the right side again until the "Man Utd" player fully recovers.
