Man Utd defender Jones to join full-scale England training today

Manchester United defender Phil Jones is edging closer to full fitness with England's World Cup squad.

Jones is ready to return to full training as the England squad regroup on Monday to continue their World Cup preparations.

Jones is recovering from a shoulder injury which prompted manager Roy Hodgson to rate him as the player most in danger of missing the tournament in Brazil.

He is unlikely to be risked as England play Peru at Wembley on Friday but there are games against Ecuador and Honduras once the squad reach their training camp in Miami.
