West Ham captain Rice misses England training

West Ham United captain Declan Rice missed England's latest training session ahead of their crunch clash with France.

The Three Lions will face the defending world champions in the quarter-finals on Saturday night.

And holding midfielder Rice was absent from today's training session.

Illness kept the West Ham man out of the team's sweltering training session. It's currently unknown if he'll be fit for Saturday's clash with the French.

Rice, 23, wasn't the only player missing from the training field.

Newcastle United hitman Callum Wilson was also absent with a minor niggle.

But the former Bournemouth man allayed concerns over his fitness in a recent Instagram post, saying he was "recharging and recovering."
