England are likely to be unchanged for the World Cup quarter-final against Brazil, after Michael Owen was passed fit.

England are likely to be unchanged for the World Cup quarter-final against Brazil, after Michael Owen was passed fit.

All 23 members of the squad took part in training on the eve of the match, including Paul Scholes who has recovered from a foot injury.

Darius Vassell has shaken off a back problem.

Owen Hargreaves is also back in contention after recovering from a shin injury. He was hurt in the Argentina game.

Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari's only conundrum seems to be whether to play Ricardino instead of Juninho in midfield.

If he sticks with the former Middlesbrough star it should be the same team which started against Belgium.
