Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana, who has played just 12 times this season is currently facing a fitness battle to be fit for England’s World Cup. Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate has claimed that he will not take half-fit players to the World Cup and prepares to axe three big start from his Russia plans. He is set to ignore Arsenal’s injured Jack Wilshere, Chelsea’s Gary Cahill and Manchester United centre-half Chris Smalling.
Lallana suffered a thigh injury before the start of the season and failed to train with the Three Lions last week , so his appearance remains on doubt.
