Last Sunday's victory 6-1 over lowly Panama in particular has somewhat put to bed the question of goalscoring in the side.

Captain Harry Kane is the tournament's lead scorer with 5 goals.

But all of this is not moving Arsene Wenger, who recognises that although many believe that attack may be the best defence, England need to put things in proper order.

Wenger remarked: He’s not a real defender and especially not a central defender,"

"He can be subject to making defensive mistakes which he would not pay for when he plays on the right."

Tottenham's Eric Dier, who has in the past played in the position for England and his club side, is in the squad. However, he has yet to make his debut at the tournament.

Wenger added of Dier: "He can play in the middle of the defence and as a midfielder," he added. "I don’t know why he has not been used at all."

As TUKO.co.ke formerly reported, a second half goal from Adnan Januzaj ensured Belgium top Group G after they defeated England 1-0 in Group H's last match played on Thursday night, June 28.

Chances were few and far between in the first 45 minutes as the only talking point of the half was when Youri Tielemansb forced a brilliant save from Jordan Pickford in the sixth minute.
