​Walcott: England remaining grounded despite qualification for Euro 2016

England have already qualified for the 2016 European Championship with two games to spare, but the players are not thinking too far ahead, according to Theo Walcott.

"We are not thinking about the Euros yet," he says. "We have some big friendlies coming up against some of the best nations in the world and that will be a test of how good this squad is.

"The amount of energy in the squad is great. We have young legs that can run all day. It is important how we react when we lose the ball and you can see in training even today how hard the boys are at it.

"We want to pull on the England jersey and do it for the fans. Everyone has got a big work-rate and that's what you want to see."
