England's Neville set to miss Sweden game

COLOGNE, June 19 (Reuters) Injured England defender Gary Neville looks to have been ruled out of their final World Cup Group B game against Sweden after missing the start of training for the third day running today.

Neville, who picked up a calf injury last week, sat out the first 15 minutes that were open to the media of their session at the Cologne stadium hosting tomorrow's game.

His place at right back will almost certainly go to Jamie Carragher, who deputised for him on Thursday in their 2-0 win over Trinidad&Tobago in Nuremberg.

England are already through to a second-round game against either hosts Germany or Ecuador after an opening 1-0 win over Paraguay and need only a point to finish top of the group.
