England sweat on injured players ahead of WC qualifiers

Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge and Cardiff defender Steven Caulker missed England training ahead of World Cup qualifiers against Moldova and Ukraine.

Jermain Defoe also took part in a recovery session after suffering a knock at the Emirates.
