The England boss has been charting his men after regular practice sessions as they head into the knockouts.

He has warned them they could face TWO shoot-outs if they are to go all the way this summer.

Incredibly, England have 11 regular penalty-takers within their squad even if they are not necessarily first choice for their clubs.

Ivan Toney (left), Harry Kane and Anthony Gordon have outstanding records while Marcus Rashford, Bukayo Saka, Reece James, Elliot Anderson and Jude Bellingham have all taken them.
