Players fluffed 28 straight attempts to score in drill!

Get well soon Harry - please!

ENGLAND’S strikers drew a blank in training – after failing to score in TWENTY-EIGHT attempts.

Gareth Southgate put his players through a drill in training at St George’s Park in front of invited guests, including RAF heroes.

But they watched them miss the target – from crossing and shooting drills – as the forwards looked goal-shy without injured Tottenham hotshot Harry Kane.

Southgate is likely to use Danny Welbeck (left), Jamie Vardy and

Marcus Rashford in the forthcomin­g friendlies.

England’s striker coach Allan Russell oversaw the session, but drew a blank.

Southampto­n left-back Ryan Bertrand sat out training with a back problem and pulled out of the squad.

He also invited Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold and Nathaniel Chalobah, of Watford, to the St George’s Park training sessions.
