Lions coach Graham Henry has declared his squad fit on the eve of their trip to Australia.

The New Zealand-born coach had his heart in his mouth this morning as Lions captain Martin Johnson and Jonny Wilkinson played a limited role in training.

Bath centre Mike Catt was another absentee from training and Gloucester prop Phil Vickery limped back to team headquarters after turning his ankle.

But Henry dismissed the injuries as minor knocks and vowed every member of the touring party would be fit for the three-Test battle against the world champions next month.

He said: ``Martin Johnson has a bit of a sore neck this morning and was only able to join in some parts of training. The injury is not serious.

``And Jonny Wilkinson finished training early today because he felt a twinge in his groin.

``Jonny's had the injury for some time but it's an occupational hazard if you kick so much.

``Mike Catt didn't train again today but I'm sure he will be all right and Dai Young took part in some training after injuring his calf.

``The only worry is Phil Vickery. He went over on his ankle and it's a bit puffed up but there's nothing serious there.''

Henry confirmed his walking wounded would all board tomorrow's scheduled flight to Australia.

And he singled out Wasps' back-row forward Lawrence Dallaglio for the speed of his recovery from a serious knee injury.

Henry added: ``We are delighted about the progress Lawrence has made. His recovery is far beyond anything people thought he would achieve.

``I'm sure he will be playing soon and he'll play a big role in Australia. I'm not 100% sure when he can start contact training but we are just thankful for his progress. He's definitely joining us on the tour.''
