Jordan Henderson admits he could feel the altitude at the start of England’s final training session before facing Mexico.
The Three Lions got a feel for the local climate on Saturday afternoon when they trained at Pumas’ ‘Quarry’ before Thomas Tuchel and Henderson addressed the media at the Azteca Stadium.
When asked for his assessment of the conditions, Henderson said: “You can feel it a little bit. You can feel something. You felt it a little bit even when you just land and come into the hotel, and you just walk around, you can feel something.
“When it came to training, for me personally, I felt it maybe in the first 10-15 minutes. Once training finished, I stopped thinking about it so much and just concentrated on the session.
“So, hopefully when the game comes tomorrow, once the lads have done the warm-up and the game starts, the full focus is just on the game and that’s all it’s on.”
