Dyer decision expected on Tuesday

A decision on Kieron Dyer's World Cup fitness will be made early next week.

The Newcastle midfielder is hoping to have recovered from his knee injury to take his place in Sven-Goran Eriksson's final 23-man squad before Friday's selection deadline.

Dyer joined up with the rest of the squad this morning before flying on to Korea.

A training session is due to take place at 5pm on Sunday, but the fitness tests aimed at deciding whether Dyer will be fit for the tournament are not scheduled to start until Monday.

England play their first friendly against Cameroon on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, David Beckham is making good progress in the latest stage in his recovery programme from a broken bone in his left foot.

The England captain trained on a mini-trampoline, bouncing repeatedly on his left foot to cushion the injury.

Eriksson is said to be pleased by the progress made by Beckham and Nicky Butt, while Sol Campbell, who is resting a gashed shin, was the only other player not to take part in Friday's training session.
