Beckham continues comeback

David Beckham took part in his second full training session in 24 hours with the England squad in his bid to confirm his fitness for the World Cup opener with Sweden.

Sven-Goran Eriksson is confident his skipper will be ready to face the Swedes after recovering from a broken foot - providing Beckham suffers no reaction to stepping up his training programme over the next few days.

Beckham joined in training with a session of one-touch football and then a game which combined hand-ball and heading.

Beckham appeared to enjoy being involved with the other players, having previously worked out on his own since the squad joined up two and a half weeks ago.
