Michael Owen boosted England's World Cup hopes on Thursday by taking part in a training session after a groin injury had threatened to rule him out of their quarter-final clash with Brazil.

Owen joined the rest of the squad for a rain-swept training session at the Shizuoka stadium where England will face the four-times champions on Friday.

Owen, who scored his opening goal at these finals in the 3-0 second round win over Denmark but also picked up the injury then, will be key to England's chances when he links up with Liverpool strike-partner Emile Heskey.
