World Cup: Harry Kane and co look CLINICAL in England training
Gareth Southgate put his Three Lions through their paces in a packed training session at their base in Repino.
The likes of Harry Kane, Jesse Lingard and Dele Alli all looked to be on good form during shooting practice ahead of facing Tunisia.
Striker Marcus Rashford was absent from the session yesterday as he recovers from a slight knee injury.
However, the Manchester United man did train with his England team-mates on Friday.
Rashford’s club team-mate Lingard, who is set to feature in his first World Cup, says the squad are confident heading into their opening Group G match.
"Gareth has come in with the mentality to play with freedom and without fear, and you will enjoy your time more," said Lingard.
"So as a group of players, that is what we are going to do - enjoy our football, play with no fear and play exciting football at the same time.
"You have got to embrace the moments. You've got to enjoy your time on the field no matter what game it is.
"You've got to go into the big games full of confidence, knowing that you can win.
"Sometimes that is not the outcome but, on the day, you've got to be a team and work hard, play free and enjoy the football.
"You are with your team-mates playing football and it is a job you love doing.
"We've been training together for a long time now so the confidence is up. We can't wait to get going and we're excited to make our mark on the World Cup."
