John Terry swapped training at Cobham for London Colney on Tuesday morning, joining Chelsea's other England internationals under the watchful eye of Steve McClaren.
The England captain was struck down with a knee problem while training with the national side before their fixtures in October and subsequently missed out on the last round of qualifiers for Euro 2008.
Today he rejoined Joe Cole, Frank Lampard, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Wayne Bridge and Ashley Cole at Arsenal's training ground in St Albans in preparation for the crucial match against Croatia tomorrow night.
Terry was in a buoyant mood during training but while stand-in captain in his absence, Steven Gerrard, said that his England colleague's presence had given a lift to training, he confirmed after the session that the match comes too early for Terry.
"I've spoken to John and he is not ready for Wednesday." the Liverpool player said.
"He is obviously disappointed not to be in the game, but he will still be there and will be a big help to all the players in the dressing room."
