However, he has recovered in time and leads the line on what is a huge night for his country.

Matjaz Kek’s side currently sit third in Group C after drawing both of their opening games but need a result to qualify for the knockouts.

Little about what England have shown in their first two games will look particularly daunting for the Slovenians, albeit they will head into the meeting as underdogs.
