England's Neville misses training due to injury

CARRINGTON, England, Jun 1: England right back Gary Neville missed training today following a hamstring problem during the 3-1 pre-World Cup friendly win over Hungary.

''It's not a major problem. It's just a precaution after Tuesday night,'' an FA spokesman said as the rest of the squad went through their paces at Manchester United's training ground.

Neville came off at halftime during Tuesday's game at Old Trafford and was replaced at right back by midfielder Jamie Carragher.

Coach Sven-Goran Eriksson said at the time Neville had come off as a precautionary measure.

Eriksson has no straight replacement in his squad at right back, meaning that Carragher or Owen Hargreaves would have to fill in.

England, who play Jamaica on Saturday in a friendly, open their World Cup campaign in Group B against Paraguay on June 10.
