The English National Team is already preparing for their round of 16 match of the 2018 World Cup in Russia against Colombia with a training session in which they couldn't count on midfielders Fabian Delph, who returned because he is going to be a father, nor Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who trained in the gym.
Delph returned to England yesterday to attend the birth of his third child with permission from coach Gareth Southgate, while Loftus-Cheek worked in the gym on Saturday, but he has no injuries.
Under a British climate, with cloudy skies and light rain, England began their work for the elimination phase at their usual training center in Zelenogorsk, a town located about 50 kilometers north of St. Petersburg, located on the coast of the Gulf of Finland and ten minutes from their hotel in Repino.
The session, which had a first part of stretching and warm-up exercises, then had the players of the 'Three Lions' play a small-sided training match with nine players per team.
In it, we could see the top scorer of the 2018 Russia, English captain Harry Kane, sharing the forward line with Jamie Vardy, his usual substitute, with Jordan Henderson and Jesse Lingard behind as midfielders.
This possibility seems unlikely to start, as Southgate has usually bet on Kane as the only reference accompanied by a more mobile player like Raheem Sterling. But the Kane-Vardy duo could occur if England is behind and needs a goal against Colombia.
England has two more days of preparation ahead before traveling to Moscow to face the 'cafetero' team at the Spartak Stadium in the Russian capital, as the English team has usually preferred to train at their usual base on the day before the match and then travel to offer the official press conference.
