England stars compete for Jude Bellingham approval in World Cup training amid transfer stance

England have completed another training session this morning as the Three Lions continue to prepare for their opening World Cup group stage game against Iran on Monday. Kalvin Phillips and Kyle Walker, who are both recovering from injuries, took part, but a particular star was seemingly absent from the main part of the session.

The Manchester City duo of Walker and Phillips have missed large chunks of the season but were both included in Thursday's session, although Leicester's James Maddison was absent. The 25-year-old came off with an apparent injury in his sides Premier League win over West Ham on Saturday, but it was later confirmed it was just a precaution.

Understandably, England seem to be easing Maddison back into the fold as he was present for the brief chat at the beginning of the session.
