West Ham United's trio of England internationals have begun preparations for England's 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Kazakhstan and Andorra.
Goalkeeper Robert Green, central defender Matthew Upson and striker Carlton Cole were all in training with their England team-mates on a warm day at London Colney. Green joined fellow stoppers Scott Carson and Paul Robinson for specialist training, while Upson and Cole were among those put through their paces by head coach Fabio Capello and his staff.

England head for Almaty for their sixth Group 6 fixture on Saturday having won all of their previous five fixtures, including a 5-1 victory over the Kazakhs at Wembley in October. That fine run of form put England five points clear of second-placed Croatia midway through their World Cup qualifying campaign.
Following their 7,000-mile round-trip to Kazakhstan, Capello's squad will return to London to take on Andorra at Wembley next Wednesday evening, 10 June.
Green will be eager to earn his third full cap this weekend after Portsmouth's David James and Manchester United's Ben Foster were both ruled out by injury. The goalkeeper, who earned his first cap as a half-time substitute in the 3-2 friendly victory over Colombia at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on 31 May 2005, made his second appearance for England in the 2-0 friendly defeat by Spain in Seville in February.
Upson has earned a total of 14 full caps and has been a regular squad member since Capello took charge 18 months ago. Cole, meanwhile, earned both of his caps earlier this year, appearing as a substitute in the friendly internationals against Spain and Slovakia.
