England’s players were warned to stay indoors after a ‘destructive’ storm warning was issued for the Kansas City area. 

Tornado sirens sounded while a text message was sent out warning of 80mph winds on their way.

It marks another chaotic twist for Thomas Tuchel’s training camp – situated in an area known locally as Tornado Valley – after lots of training equipment and boots were stolen, as exclusively revealed by Daily Mail Sport.  

An alert message from the National Weather Service read: ‘Imminent Threat Alert: Severe Thunderstorm Warning in effect in this area until 9:00pm CDT for DESTRUCTIVE 80 mph winds.

‘Take shelter in a sturdy building, away from windows. Flying debris may be deadly to those caught without shelter.

‘For your protection, move to an interior room on the lowest floor of a building.’  

All 26 England players took part in a training session at Victory Field on Saturday, attended by around 700 spectators. 

But during the early evening, storm warnings hit and people were forced to move indoors.

The Three Lions heeded the advice and cosied up at their £250-per-night hotel, the Inn at Meadowbrook.
