Defenders John Terry and Jamie Carragher do not envy their Swedish counterparts after another training session with Rooney on Sunday at their Buhlertal base.

"Marking him is a nightmare. He's looking very sharp and very ready to go," said Terry, who thought Rooney would want more than 60 minutes against Sweden.

"I think he'd tell you he had 160 minutes in him."

Carragher said: "It's great to have Wayne back with us. He hasn't trained for a while but you wouldn't think that from training, he hit the bar from outside the box with a volley from a corner.

"It was something I'll never be able to do."

England have already qualified for the second round where they will meet hosts Germany or Ecuador.

Drawing with Sweden, a side they have not beaten for 38 years, will ensure England top the group.
