Bellingham, Rice, and o'Reilly play water polo to relax

Beijing Time (CEST) July 14th, according to The Sun, England stars Kane, Rice, Stones, and Nico O'Reilly yesterday relaxed and recuperated by playing table tennis and swimming to restore their physical condition.

Bellingham, relaxing in the pool, clearly shows the scar from his shoulder surgery last August.

Reportedly, England captain Kane stretched his muscles on a yoga mat with resistance bands yesterday at the team's training base in Kansas City.

Other team members played water polo in the pool and had a great time. Last Saturday, they fought hard in extra time to defeat Norway 2-1 and are currently in the physical recovery phase.

Head coach Thomas Tuchel aims to balance work and rest for the players because they need to be in their best competitive form when they face Messi's FIFA World Cup champions Argentina tomorrow night.

It is reported that later today, the England team will complete their final training session at the Swope Soccer Village in Kansas City, then fly to Atlanta.

In Saturday's 2-1 victory over Norway, images of Bellingham holding his upper arm circulated. Despite stiffness in the injured area, Bellingham insists it will not affect his performance.

An insider from the Three Lions said: "The players are recovering well and are very much looking forward to the upcoming match."
