Phil Jones was the only absentee from England training on Friday morning as the Three Lions prepared for their friendly against Nigeria.

The Manchester United defender has left the camp to attend the birth of his child and will also sit out Saturday’s pre-World Cup warm-up match at Wembley.

Adam Lallana trained with the squad on Thursday and was again present on Friday, the Liverpool midfielder on Gareth Southgate’s standby list having overcome a hamstring injury.

The squad seemed in good spirits as they trained in the grounds of the Grove hotel, with Southgate and Jesse Lingard set to speak to the media later in the day.
