England sealed World Cup qualification by winning all eight games

England's players are worried about being turned into "political spokespeople" at the World Cup, the chief executive of the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) has said.

The tournament, to be hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico, kicks off on 11 June.

But alongside the ongoing conflict between the United States and Iran, the build-up has seen rights groups raise concerns over issues such as the Trump administration's immigration policies.

Meanwhile, Mexico's ability to welcome fans has been questioned after an outbreak of cartel violence sparked by the death of gang leader Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as 'El Mencho'.
