However, Tuesday’s clash with Slovenia ended in a goalless draw.

Ahead of kick off, Declan Rice rubbished suggestions England’s players are too tired to make their mark at the tournament.

Their performances, especially in the 1-1 draw against Denmark last Thursday, have seen Southgate and his players come in for stinging criticism.

Speaking after the game in Frankfurt, Southgate conceded: “We are not pressing well enough, with enough intensity. We have limitations in how we can do that with the physical condition.”

His comments led to plenty of post-match discussion focused specifically on England’s lack of press when out of possession.

Rice, though, has refuted claims that the squad are exhausted after demanding club campaigns.

“If I wasn’t fit enough or the lads weren’t fit enough we shouldn’t be here in the first place,” he said.

“We should be able to compete for seven games, whether they go to extra time, we have got a squad of 26 players that are fit enough, strong enough, fast enough and ready to go the whole way.
