The 22-year-old Tottenham midfielder Alli sustained the thigh strain after playing 80 minutes during England's 2-1 victory against Tunisia on Monday.


Although Alli is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Panamanian national team Los Canaleros, he said Tuesday in a post to Twitter that he "will do everything in my power to get back to full fitness."


Forwards Harry Kane and Raheem Sterling, midfielder Jordan Henderson and defender Trent Alexander-Arnold all took part in the practice led by head coach Gareth Southgate at the Spartak Zelenogorsk Stadium, as documented by an Efe-EPA journalist.


Belgium leads Group G with 3 points on goal differential ahead of England, followed by Tunisia and Panama.
