Leicester midfielder James Maddison took part, netting in the session.
While Arsenal’s White missed out through illness.

Jordan Henderson is expected to start against the Dragons – which could see wonderkid Jude Bellingham drop to the bench.
The Liverpool captain was a calming figure when he came on as a second half substitute against USA on Friday.
Southgate is unlikely to make a raft of changes and he could still stick with Bukayo Saka and Raheem Sterling either side of Harry Kane.
There are strong calls for Phil Foden to start as he is enjoying a good season with Manchester City.

Yet Foden has only delivered a couple of good performances in his 19 games for England and he might have to settle for a place on the bench.
On potential changes, Southgate said: “We will see. We want to win football matches and we want to try to top the group if we can.
“So we’ve got to make sure there is some consistency in what we do and our performances are healthy.
“There is always a balance of finding game time for players. But the priority is to win games, we have to win football matches.
“We are going to play a team who are wounded. Who are going to have very high motivation to beat us.
“We’ve got to be tactically correct and find our best level.
“We’ve got to make sure we are composed but also that we play with a real attacking vigour.”

Ivana wowed at the World Cup in 2014 and 2018 and had slammed the lack of organisation in Qatar.

Ivana has already received abuse online from trolls calling for her to better respect the cultural code of Qatar.
The small dress she wore against Canada helped her to rack up 90,000 likes on Instagram.

And Henderson’s experience could be vital in what will be a physical Battle of Britain clash.
Against the United States on Friday, the midfielder was a 69th minute replacement for Bellingham who was outstanding in the 6-2 win over Iran but struggled in the second match.
Henderson, 32, capped 71 times, was a calming influence against the States although it was still a dismal team performance.
Only a heavy defeat to Wales would knock England out of the group stages but Southgate will still be keen to top the group.

RIGOBERT SONG sent first-choice keeper Andre Onana home after a row over playing style – but his Cameroon side might not be on the flight behind after all. The Indomitable Lions lived up to their nickname with a stunning fightback from 3-1 down to keep their slim qualification hopes alive.

Sublime substitute Vincent Aboubakar was the hero, turning the game on its head in three incredible minutes with a sensational lob before teeing up Eric Choupo-Moting. 
An incredible game, Cameroon took the lead but looked dead and buried after goals from Strahinja Pavlovic, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Aleksandar Mitrovic. 
They still have to beat Brazil in their final group game to stand a chance of reaching the knockout stage for the first time since 1990. 
And Serbia have a mountain to climb too after collapsing at the Al Janoub Stadium, needing a win against Switzerland to stay in the hunt.

Cameroon fans were shocked an hour before kick-off when there was no sign of Onana in the line-up. 
Multiple reports stated the Inter Milan stopper was sent packing from Qatar after a row with head coach Song over their playing style, with David Epassy chucked in at the last minute. 
And the central Africans could have been out of it within 17 minutes but for the woodwork and a shocking miss by Aleksandar Mitrovic. 
And it looked like that clanger would prove costly for Serbia’s hopes when Jean-Charles Castelletto bundled a corner home at the back post after a flick-on from centre-back partner Nicolas Nkoulou.

But the Balkans shot back and struck twice in injury time to take a 2-1 lead into the break. 
Pavlovic was first, out-muscling Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa to head Dusan Tadic’s free-kick beyond Devis Epassy. 
While there was not much he could do with that one, his clanger put them behind moments later. 
Minlinkovic-Savic’s strike from the top of the box was decent enough but the number two got a big hand on it diving to his left – only to deflect the ball into the corner. 

And it looked like game, set and match 53 minutes in when Mitrovic finished off a stunning move. 
Tadic won it on halfway, Mitrovic broke and four passes later he finished it off from close range. 
But Cameroon – and Aboubakar in particular – were far from done.
Thrown on in desperation in the 55th minute, he narrowly beat the offside trap before a ridiculous scoop over giant 6ft 9in keeper Vanka Milinkovic-Savic, brother of Sergej. 
It was given offside but overruled, and three minutes later he raced away in behind again, with Serbia all at sea, before squaring for Choupo-Moting to bury.
