England v Belgium: Nations League – live!

Clearly no Kane no Stirling is a big loss, but it’s a big opportunity for others and this is the type of test we need. We know the quality they’ve got, we know most of their players, this is a really good challenge to match up against their system, and I’m looking forward to seeing how we go.

We feel this is a game for our experienced players to really match up, see where we’re at. We’ve got a lot of players who two years ago were less experienced, hadn’t experienced those big matches, hadn’t won things with their clubs, but had a great mentality and spirit among them. We’ve still got a lot of youngsters, but it’s a team that’s focused and ready for today’s game.
