Buehlertal, Germany - Right back Gary Neville is expected to return for England's quarter-final against Portugal after sitting out the last three World Cup games, a team official said Monday.
The Manchester United defender played in England's opening 1-0 group game against Paraguay, then was rested because of a thigh strain.
'He has recovered from his injury and will rejoin team practice on Tuesday,' co-trainer Steve McClaren told reporters.
England meets Portugal in the quarter-finals on Saturday.
