Bellingham says Lions are in for tricky test

JUDE BELLINGHAM insists England will not underestimate last-16 rivals Slovakia.

The Three Lions will face the minnows in Gelsenkirchen on Sunday for a place in the quarter-finals of Euro 2024.

Despite struggling to find their best form, Gareth Southgate's men will be red-hot favourites to beat a side ranked 45th in the world.

But Bellingham has ordered England to take nothing for granted.

The Real Madrid superstar said: "You're always going to have tough games at this point of the tournament.

"People will obviously look at Slovakia and think it's going to be an easy game.

"It's definitely not the case. They'll pose a different kind of threat, it's a different kind of team to break down.

"Sometimes when you play the nations that come at you a bit, it's more open.
