England defender Ledley King will continue to be monitored on a daily basis amid reports that his World Cup campaign is over.

King suffered a groin injury in Saturday's draw with the United States in Rustenburg and was immediately ruled out of Friday's second Group C encounter against Algeria in Cape Town.

However, it is thought the damage is more serious than that and with a recovery period of three weeks hinted at, the fear is that King will play no further part in the competition.

The 29-year-old was at training on Monday morning but spent only the briefest time on the pitch when Fabio Capello delivered a short address to the squad.

He then made his way to the pool to continue his rehabilitation work.

"Ledley has a groin muscle strain. He will be assessed on a day-to-day basis," said a Football Association spokesman.

England suffered from a lackluster start to there World Cup campiagn, with a deflated started against USA.

Robert Green Allowed USA back into the game, after Steven Gerrard gave us the perfect start.

Once Green made his blunder England looked short of ideas and motivation, in a match that failed to impress me. I feel a lot of hard work needs to be done if England are to meet the nations expectations.

An expected injury to Ledley King, Barry and Ferdinand also ruled, out makes me wonder if taking experience over youth was really a good idea???
