Trio train with England

West Ham United's Three Lions trained with Fabio Capello's England squad at London Colney on Tuesday.

Goalkeeper Robert Green, central defender Matthew Upson and striker Carlton Cole were all fully involved in the session ahead of Saturday's friendly international with Slovakia at Wembley on Saturday afternoon.

Green will hope to earn his third cap after appearing in the 2-0 friendly defeat to Spain in Seville last month, a game in which Cole made his full debut for Capello's side. Upson, who was won his 13th cap as a substitute in Spain, will battle Chelsea's John Terry, Manchester United's Rio Ferdinand and Everton pair Phil Jagielka and Joleon Lescott for a place at the heart of the England back-four.

England will use Saturday's fixture as preparation for next Wednesday's visit of Ukraine to Wembley for a 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifier. They have faced Slovakia twice before in qualification for the 2004 European Championshipn finals. England won both matches 2-1, with Upson completing the full 90 minutes in a home victory at Middlesbrough's Riverside Stadium in June 2003.

The Three Lions have met Ukraine in two friendly matches since the former Soviet state declared independence in August 1991. Kieron Dyer appeared as a late substitute in the 2-0 win at Wembley in May 2000 and as a half-time replacement during the 3-0 victory at Newcastle United's St James' Park in August 2004.

Large crowds are expected at Wembley but for those supporters who cannot make it to either fixture, Saturday's friendly will be screened live on Setanta Sports, with kick-off at 5.15pm. Next Wednesday's qualifier will be shown live on ITV1, with an 8pm kick-off.
