England boss Gareth Southgate is full of praise for Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
Loftus-Cheek, who enjoyed a loan spell at Crystal Palace last season from Chelsea, is expected to replace the injured Dele Alli in England's starting line-up on Sunday for the World Cup tie with Panama.
Southgate said, "Ruben is a very good ball player, everybody can see his physical size but he has got lovely soft feet. He receives the ball really well when surrounded in tight areas, he is obviously strong enough to hold people off.
"He has got great acceleration with the ball, driving with the ball at opposing players and he is a good passer, has good vision."
While Southgate lauded his England man, he still claimed Loftus-Cheek had room for improvement, particularly in one area of his game.
Southgate added: "He probably needs to add goals to his game to become a more complete midfield player I'd say."
