John Terry is on course to play in England's crucial Euro 2008 clash with Russia.

The Chelsea defender was forced to miss Saturday's 3-0 win over Estonia after picking up a knee injury in training last week.

Terry took part in training on Monday and made the flight to Moscow with the rest of the England squad.

The Football Association have confirmed the England skipper came through training without any ill-effects and is contention to feature against Russia on Wednesday.

Trained

An England spokesman explained: "John trained today and came through the session with no problems.

"He will continue to be monitored by the England medical staff and assessed

for any reaction."

Steve McClaren will be keen to have Terry available in Moscow as England look to secure their place at Euro 2008 with a victory.
