Kieran Trippier 'fit for Belgium match'

Kieran Trippier 'fit for Belgium match'

Kieran Trippier has reportedly returned to England training ahead of Saturday's third-place playoff against Belgium at the 2018 World Cup.

Trippier limped off in the latter stages of Wednesday's 2-1 defeat to Croatia in the semi-finals.

The Tottenham Hotspur defender had opened the scoring in the last-four clash with a free kick, but Croatia levelled through Ivan Perisic before Mario Mandzukic won it for Zlatko Dalic's team in extra time.

A groin problem was expected to keep Trippier out of the clash with Belgium, but according to Sky Sports News, the right-back has returned to training.

Jordan Henderson and Kyle Walker were also reportedly both present when the players took to the training field.
