Terry misses England training

LISBON, June 8 (Reuters) - England central defender John Terry missed training on Tuesday, raising concerns he might not be fit for Sunday's opening Euro 2004 game against France.
Chelsea's Terry appeared with a heavily strapped left knee when training started, and did not take part.

Terry is expected to form England's central partnership at the back with Arsenal's Sol Campbell.

Jamie Carragher is on standby should Terry fail to prove his fitness to coach Sven-Goran Eriksson by the weekend.

FA spokesman Adrian Bevington said: ``Everyone is fit and training in the first full session in Portugal apart from John Terry who will work with physio Gary Lewin towards playing at the weekend.''

Meanwhile, skipper David Beckham was back in training following an injection on Saturday to cure a cyst in his back after playing the opening 45 minutes of the 6-1 win over Iceland in Manchester.

Beckham had been required to then rest up for two days but he flew out to Lisbon
