England train with entire remaining squad after departure of Ben White ahead of World Cup last-16 clash vs Senegal

Published on December 01, 2022 at 05:07 PM

ENGLAND’S stars returned to training to begin their preparations to face Senegal in the World Cup last-16 on Sunday.

The Three Lions were given a rest day on Wednesday following the late night after beating Wales.

England began their preparations for Senegal this afternoonTemperatures were around 29C as they took to the fieldThree-goal hero Marcus Rashford will be hoping to keep his placeJack Grealish’s calves were bulging as everHarry Kane is still looking for his first goal of the tournamentEric Dier may have to settle for a place on the bench againGareth Southgate appeared in good spirits in DohaThe players went through some light recovery work at their Qatar hotel – including swimming, stretching, massages and basketball – and also spend time with their families.

Declan Rice faced the media this morning – both in his press conference and on the darts board.

But then it was back to business on the field.

There was no Ben White in training after he returned back home for personal reasons.

The Arsenal defender is not expected to return to Qatar.

But the remaining 25 players were all in action for the 3pm session in 29C heat.

Rice looked relaxed as he loosened up while Jack Grealish quickly demonstrated his class with some cheeky keepy-uppies.

Marcus Rashford was in the thick of the action, just as he was against Wales on Tuesday.

HOW TO GET FREE BETS ON THE WORLD CUP

England topped Group B so take on the runners-up from Group A at 7pm at the Al Bayt Stadium.

Senegal, without star man Sadio Mane, secured wins over Qatar and Ecuador to finish behind the Netherlands and progress.

Gareth Southgate’s side know they go into the knockout clash as the heavy favourites and will be buoyed after scoring nine goals in their opening three matches.

However, should the game finish level after extra-time, it will go down to penalties.

But with the likes of Harry Kane, Callum Wilson and James Maddison in the squad and a special net to practise spot kicks, England will be confident of putting their Euro 2020 final heartache behind them and progressing.
