England assistant manager Steve Holland has warned fans not to expect "fantasy football" at the European Championship.

The Three Lions coach revealed Gareth Southgate knows his team and formation for the Euro 2020 opener against Croatia at Wembley on Sunday.

But, despite the wealth of attacking options available, Holland insists England will not make the same mistakes as other nations at past tournaments by shoehorning all of their forwards into the team.

"So the number one priority for Russia was to try and be very specific with the requirements and roles of the players in one way of playing.

"We pretty much stuck with that all the way through, and I think we achieved that. We're now in a different moment.

"We have half of the squad who played Russia so they have come through that process and also three years in between. We also have a lot of younger players who are coming from our top clubs."
