Noni Madueke and Ivan Toney have urged England to take nothing for granted ahead of their second FIFA World Cup 2026 group stage fixture against Ghana, predicting a tough physical contest when the two sides meet in Boston on Tuesday 23 June.

England opened their campaign with a confident 4-2 victory over Croatia in Dallas. Harry Kane struck twice, with Jude Bellingham and Marcus Rashford also on the scoresheet, as Thomas Tuchel's side signalled their intent early in the tournament.

Focused on execution

Speaking on the 10th episode of Lions' Den Connected by EE, Madueke made clear that the squad is concentrating on its own game plan rather than dwelling on the opposition.
