​England fullback Trippier trains ahead of Belgium clash

Kieran Trippier has recovered from a groin injury and will be fit for England's clash with Belgium on Saturday, the Sky report.

Tottenham fullback scored the goal from a free-kick to put the Three Lions in front against Croatia in a World Cup semi-final on Wednesday.

However, the Croats turned the match around to secure their first final birth, while Tripper couldn't finish the game and was replaced in second period of extra time.

Gareth Southgate was forced to substitute Jordan Henderson and Kyle Walker as well but the trio trained with the squad on Friday morning and will be ready for a third-place duel with Belgium.
