Summary
Sunday's session saw Bukayo Saka rejoin full England training, easing fitness concerns before Tuesday's World Cup group game against Ghana in Boston.
The 24-year-old had done only individual work on Saturday as he manages Achilles tendinitis, an issue that also left him on the bench for England's 4-2 win over Croatia.
Thomas Tuchel still considers Saka unlikely to start until the third group match against Panama, suggesting his return to training is a boost in depth more than an immediate selection change.
Arsenal had monitored the niggle late in the season but judged him fit enough to keep starting, and England believe the Achilles problem has not worsened since that title-winning run-in.
