Gerrard limps out of training

England had just kicked off an 11-a-side game here at the foot of the Austrian Alps when their vice-captain limped out.

Fitness coach Stefano Tirelli rushed to the Liverpool star and spent 20 minutes massaging his right calf and back.

Gerrard, 30 on Sunday, was treated at the side of the pitch before returning for light jogging near the end of the session.

He gave a confident thumbs-up to watching locals when asked if he was going to be OK.

But the fact he took no part in the game was enough to set alarm bells ringing for boss Fabio Capello just a fortnight before the finals start.
