Speaking after the training session, players appeared to be conscious of trying to play down the impact of the theft that saw equipment stolen on Friday.<\/p>\n

It emerged on Friday night that items had been stolen<\/a> from a vehicle that was carrying equipment from England’s pre-tournament camp in Florida to Kansas City.<\/p>\n

On Saturday night, Kansas City police confirmed that two men, Mustafa Salik and Erfan Kamal, had been charged in connection with the incident that saw $18,000 worth of property sold.<\/p>\n

The Football Association, however, has been clear that no elite performance equipment had gone missing and that the majority of what was stolen has now been recovered.<\/p>\n

It was claimed that the property taken was four pairs of football boots, one ball, a pair of goalkeeper gloves and training kit.<\/p>\n

And speaking about the theft, Dan Burn said: “I’ve not lost anything personally, we found out from you guys (the media).<\/p>\n

“It’s with the police now so not sure how much I can comment. It’s not really been spoken about so that just shows for us that they aren’t too worried about it – it’s not really disrupted our preparations.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Speaking after the training session, players appeared to be conscious of trying to play down the impact of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":735730,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":["post-735729","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/735729","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=735729"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/735729\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/735730"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=735729"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=735729"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=735729"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
