England have suffered a theft of training equipment ahead of their arrival in Kansas City, where they are set to begin their World Cup campaign.

Vehicles transporting gear to England's base at Swope Soccer Village in Kansas City were broken into, with balls and boots understood to be among the items taken. The Football Association is working to establish the full extent of what was stolen.

Manager Thomas Tuchel and his squad were due to arrive in Kansas City on Saturday afternoon, with the equipment expected to be in position at the training facility beforehand.

Police officers attended the scene on Friday night and remain in contact with the FA as investigations continue.

England face Croatia on Wednesday at 21:00 BST in their opening World Cup group fixture.
