England coach Gareth Southgate has warned his players not to take lightly World Cup round of 16 opponents Senegal.

The Daily Mail says England will train for the final time on Saturday afternoon as they aim to reach their third successive quarter-final. On Friday morning, the squad held an energy-charged meeting where boss Southgate, captain Harrry Kane and other senior players spoke emotionally about not allowing standards to slip.

Several big nations have already been eliminated in Qatar, with Germany, Uruguay and Belgium among those going home.

And Southgate is understood to have stressed to his players the importance of believing in their own quality, but also warned that they will have to find a higher level of performance to combat Senegal's intensity and physicality.
