Neville misses training ahead of Sweden game

BUHLERTAL, Germany, June 17 (Reuters) Injured England right back Gary Neville missed training today, making him a doubt for their final World Cup Group B game against Sweden in Cologne on Tuesday.

Neville suffered a calf injury in training on Wednesday and was sidelined for the 2-0 win over Trinidad&Tobago the following day.His place went to utility player Jamie Carragher.

An FA spokesman said no decision needed to be taken yet on Neville's availability for the Sweden game.

England, who beat Paraguay 1-0 in their opening match, have already qualified for the second round and need only a draw to finish top of the group.
