England manager Thomas Tuchel has urged his 26-man squad to block out ongoing summer transfer speculation and maintain absolute tactical discipline ahead of their highly-anticipated World Cup quarter final clash against Norway.
The Three Lions are scheduled to take to the pitch in Miami on Saturday evening, looking to move a step closer to ending the nation's 60 year wait for international silverware.
Tuchel faced the global media during a packed pre match press conference, focusing on the next game, rather than dwelling on the victory over Mexico.
"I think we took a big step in our last match, but it was only a step," he said. "We're still hungry, we still have dreams and we still have a big goal to play for.
"The next step is to win the quarter-final. We left this match behind. We take the positive things and the belief with us, but everything that matters is ahead of us."
Senior stars Declan Rice, Marc Guehi, and Reece James all completed their final training sessions under tight security measures ahead of Saturday's game.
Tuchel emphasised that collective togetherness and mental robustness will remain paramount to quieten the traveling Scandinavian support and secure a place in the semi-finals.
