Declan Rice has been challenged to find his "steely determination" and take control of the England hierarchy if the Three Lions are to finally end their 60-year trophy drought.

The pair insisted the veteran midfielder’s influence extends far beyond the pitch, highlighting his leadership, humility and importance within Thomas Tuchel’s camp ahead of England’s clash with Croatia.
