RUSTENBURG, South Africa - England midfielder Gareth Barry has trained for the first time since injuring his ankle a month ago.

The ligament damage Barry sustained playing for Manchester City on May 5 made him a doubt for inclusion in England's 23-man World Cup squad, but he made the cut after a medical check on Tuesday.

Barry took part in Friday's training session at the Royal Bafokeng Sports Campus.

Goalkeeper David James, however, worked separately from the team in the complex's gym to start the session.
