Ryan Bertrand and Danny Welbeck were the only absentees from England's training session today ahead of the international friendly double-header against Germany and the Netherlands.

Roy Hodgson's side met up at St George's Park ahead of first taking on world champions Germany on Saturday in Berlin.

Southampton left-back Bertrand sat out with an unspecified injury, while frontman Welbeck worked in the gym as agreed with his club Arsenal.

Hodgson has already lost Manchester City duo Raheem Sterling and Joe Hart for this week's internationals, with the latter replaced by Burnley's Tom Heaton in the squad.

Fellow goalkeeper Jack Butland, meanwhile, received the England Under-21s Player of the Year award for 2015.
