Fabio Capello's new-look England were reduced to training with just 16 of the 23 players he originally selected as the Three Lions began preparations for Wednesday's friendly with Hungary at Wembley.

The England squad was reduced by two when Paul Robinson and Wes Brown announced their international retirements.

Those moves lent an air of chaos to the first game since the World Cup debacle when Capello's two-year tenure came under intense scrutiny.

In addition to the permanent absentees, five more players were unable to play a full part in training on Monday morning.

Chelsea duo John Terry and Ashley Cole both went for warm-down sessions after forming part of the initial group meeting.

In addition, Darren Bent (back), Glen Johnson and Gareth Barry (both ankle) also went for treatment on what have been classed as 'minor' injuries.

Happily for Capello it is not anticipated that any of the quintet will miss out on selection and are expected to train on Tuesday.
