Gareth Southgate has hinted Kieran Trippier could return to England line-up for the round of 16 clash with Germany next Tuesday.

Southgate says England haven't delivered good enough set-pieces since Trippier played in the first group game against Croatia.

"Our delivery hasn't been good, really," said Southgate.

"There was the one where John Stones hit the post (against Scotland) which was bang on the money and Trippier's delivery in the first game was excellent, but we haven't matched that since.

"It's quite rare for us. We have gone four or five matches without a set-piece goal and that's an area where we can improve upon."
