Glen Johnson was the only absentee as the England squad was put through their paces on Monday.
Of the 20 players still available to Fabio Capello ahead of a friendly date with Ghana on Tuesday, only the Liverpool full-back failed to make training.
Johnson works to a strict fitness regime which means sometimes he has to skip sessions shortly after games.
The England coaching staff are happy to adhere to those rules and had no qualms with him sitting out Monday's exercises.
Johnson will still be hoping to be involved at Wembley in midweek, with Capello set to shuffle his pack against the Black Stars.
National skipper John Terry, Wayne Rooney, Frank Lampard, Ashley Cole and Michael Dawson have been allowed to return to their clubs following Saturday's 2-0 victory over Wales in a Euro 2012 qualifier.
Their absence has opened the door to others, including Kyle Walker and Matt Jarvis who are both looking to make their senior debuts.
The decision to give Terry a break means the armband has also been moved on, with vice-captain Steven Gerrard currently sidelined.
The Football Association has announced that Manchester City midfielder Gareth Barry will lead the side out against Ghana.
