Ryan Bertrand, a late addition to the England squad to replace Arsenal's Kieran Gibbs, has apologised over the use of an expletive on Twitter.
Bertrand, 22, withdrew from the squad with swollen glands but will return along with fellow Chelsea star Frank Lampard for Tuesday's match with Poland.
Initially he hit back at criticism over his withdrawal and tweeted: "Just to clarify.... Its not a "sore throat" Im ill.swollen glands in my neck... And constant headache for 3 days now and freezin cold.
"Do you think a "sorethroat" could stop me being apart of a match for my club or country?#your f******nuts this is what every boy dreams of".
But Bertrand later apologised for swearing in the tweet just a day after the FA gave players a code of conduct, which included social media guidelines.
