Tunisia coach Nabil Maaloul has singled out England's Dele Alli as his side's most dangerous opponent as he prepared for their World Cup Group G opener at the Volgograd Arena tomorrow. The confident coach, in his second spell as national team boss, said his side could beat England and open the door to progressing from the group stages and to the quarter-finals.

"Why not?" he told reporters ahead of his side's final training session in Volgograd on Sunday. "Our team is ready," he added, referring to recent warm-up results where they drew with Portugal and lost narrowly to Spain. "We played well in friendlies. We did well and we expect to do the same here."
