HIGASHIURA, Japan -- England Captain David Beckham is set to play in the team's opening World Cup match against Sweden on Sunday after recovering from a broken foot.

"He did a session this morning and he did everything -- free-kicks, corners, a lot of shooting and a lot of running," England Coach Sven-Goran Eriksson said on Tuesday.

All 23 members of the England squad trained together in the afternoon for the first time since leaving home two weeks ago as the injury problems that have dogged their preparations for the tournament appeared to be almost over.

Even midfielder Kieron Dyer, who must prove his fitness by Friday to retain his place in the squad, took part in the opening 15 minutes at the seafront training ground on Awaji island.

Eriksson does not think he is taking a gamble on Beckham's fitness, Reuters reported.

"Everything depends on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday practices," the coach said.

"But Today I was out there on the pitch and I saw he did a very, very good session and without any pain at all. I was very pleased with what I saw today.

"He worked for more than one hour with the physios and fitness coach. It was very good to see him." Beckham broke his foot nearly seven weeks ago, playing for Manchester United in a Champions League match against Deportivo Coruna.
