Real Madrid midfielder David Beckham continued his recovery from a painful foot injury by taking full part in training at the Spanish club on Friday.

Real have not yet passed Beckham fit to play in Sunday's league game at home to Espanyol, however, with the club preferring to make an assessment on the eve of the match.

"(Beckham's status) is dependent on the evolution of the injury over the next 24 hours," Real's medical department said in its official report.

The England captain suffered the injury to the sole of his right foot in Real's 2-0 defeat by Valencia last weekend and was forced to miss the 3-1 win over Porto in the Champions League in midweek.

The player himself had said his place in the England side for the decisive Euro 2004 Group Seven qualifier in Turkey on October 11 was in doubt but his return to training should have allayed those fears.
