England's players trained on Friday as they prepare for their bid to reach the World Cup semi-finals for only the third time in their history.

Gareth Southgate's side reached the quarter-finals on Tuesday as they beat Colombia 4-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw.

Captain Harry Kane was in the thick of the action on the training field. The Tottenham Hotspur striker has already scored six goals at the tournament.

England have only beaten Sweden twice in their history, but did prevail at Euro 2012 when the sides last met at a major tournament.

The game takes place on Saturday at 6pm UAE time.
