“It would be devastating,” Lallana said of UEFA's threat to disqualify England from the tournament if there is any more crowd trouble inside the stadia, following the fighting seen at their opening game with Russia.

“Our message is for everyone to be safe and sensible. By all means enjoy the match, but be respectful that we are out there.

“We’ve just got to hope the security is there and trust everyone to do their job.

“I’ve got friends and family coming to the game but I trust everyone to be sensible and safe. It’s a big game and I’ve got to focus on my job and hopefully everyone can do their job off the field.

“I’m not concerned it will be a distraction.”
