Gareth Southgate and Harry Kane have used a team meeting to urge England’s players not to let their standards slip before Sunday’s last-16 tie against Senegal.
John Stones revealed that good behaviour was top of the agenda when Kane and Southgate spoke to the squad on Friday morning. The head coach and captain were joined by other members of the leadership group in delivering the message, with the focus on ensuring that nothing is left to chance as England step up their push for World Cup glory.
