A tornado siren was sounded and a severe thunderstorm warning issues in Kansas, where the England team are preparing for their World Cup campaign.

An ‘imminent threat alert’ was sent out to people in the area on Saturday night, warning of ‘destructive’ winds and the potential of ‘deadly’ flying debris.

Those who received the warning were urged to take shelter and to do so away from windows.

England arrived in Kansas City on Saturday and trained in the afternoon without a problem, before the weather warning was issued.
