World Cup 2022 LIVE: Kyle Walker OUT of first game as Maddison misses training while England struggle in heat – latest

ENGLAND will be missing Kyle Walker for their first World Cup game against Iran next week and James Maddison could be a doubt.

Walker is still recovering from injury despite being selected for national duty, and will not feature on the first day.

England are scheduled to play Iran on Monday and James Maddison faces a race against time to be fit for the clash after missing England training on Tuesday.

The midfielder picked up a slight injury in Leicester’s last match and will hope to get back to full fitness before England’s opener against Iran.

While the rest of Gareth Southgate’s squad trained, they were pictured struggling in the heat in Qatar – having to take on plenty of fluids as they adjust to their surroundings.
