Adam Lallana: 'We will not solely focus on Gareth Bale when we play Wales'

England midfielder Adam Lallana insists that the team will not just focus on Gareth Bale when they face Wales on Thursday at Euro 2016.

England midfielder Adam Lallana has insisted that Gareth Bale is not the only danger man in Wales's team ahead of Thursday's Group B match in Lens at Euro 2016.

The Real Madrid star, who is the most expensive footballer in history following an £85m move to the Bernabeu from Tottenham Hotspur in 2013, scored in Wales's 2-1 victory over Slovakia on Saturday.

The team have a two-point advantage over their neighbours England, who were restricted to a 1-1 draw by Russia on the same day.

The rivalry will be heightened due to the importance of the match, but Lallana insists that England cannot fall into a trap of putting all their attention on Bale.

"He always had great ability and great talent growing up but Wales have got a lot of talented players in their team so it's not just Gareth we've got to focus on," Lallana told reporters in a press conference.

England's final group match is against Slovakia.
