Alli likely to be sidelined with injury

It's the first of the three matches tonight.
England have a lot to do when they meet plucky Panama in their 2nd of their FIFA World Cup 2018 Group G match tonight.
Panama had given Belgium a tough time in their opening match last Monday until Lukaku scored a brace for the Red Devils and the latter caved in eventually.
Gareth Southgate's side beat Tunisia 2-1 in their opening game but missed a series of first-half chances and needed a stoppage time winner from captain Harry Kane to secure the three points.
Southgate has an injury doubt over attacking midfielder Dele Alli, who picked up a thigh injury against Tunisia. Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who impressed as a substitute in the opener, is expected to start if Alli misses out.
The England manager will also have to decide whether to stick with Raheem Sterling in attack, despite his disappointing display, or bring in the in-form Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford.
