Harry Kane has called for a team meeting with the players after a disappointing display in England's first two games of the tournament.
England have had a poor start to their Euro 2024 campaign despite having four points from their first two games.
The Three Lions narrowly escaped with a 1-0 victory over Serbia in the opening game and struggled to get a 1-1 against Denmark.
Their performance has been criticised by fans and pundits who have questioned the team’s commitment during the competition.

Kane meets with players
Kane has determined that to motivate his teammates for their next game on Tuesday, they required a talking-to.
According to the Sun, the England captain called a private meeting without coaches present for the remaining members of the 26-man squad.
He reminded them that they had the class to win the Euros and hoped that they would work out their disagreements and strengthen their group.

Following a recent training session, Kieran Trippier and Kyle Walker had a verbal altercation at one point as fellow full-backs.
Moments before, they had been giggling and making jokes, but Trippier of Newcastle seemed to take offence at something Manchester City defender Walker said.
Walker’s club teammate Phil Foden, 24, appeared to step in as peacemaker, putting his hands on Trippier’s shoulders in an apparent bid to calm him down.

After what is said to have happened on Friday morning at the team's camp in Blankenhain, Kane made many attempts to rally the players.
According to a source, “Harry is a natural leader and wanted to gee the lads up after Denmark. That game left the whole country feeling a bit flat, never mind just the players. Harry wanted to remind them how good they are.
“He urged them to pull together, to bond more, to express themselves. They are world-class players. They don’t really need reminding of that but everyone needs a pick-me-up now and then. It was a really rousing speech from Harry.”
England will face Slovenia in their last group game and will need to improve on their game as they look forward to the Round of 16.
