ENGLAND stars shockingly had their boots stolen from a van on its way to their Kansas City training base – with two arrests made.
Footballs and training equipment were also nicked during the transit from Florida to Kansas City in what has been described as a ‘huge heist’.


England had their pre-World Cup training camp in Florida where they beat New Zealand, Costa Rica and local outfit Miami United.
But with the squad flying to their team hotel on Saturday morning and set to train in the afternoon, their stuff was sent on ahead.
However, according to the Daily Mail, staff are scrambling to find boots for their top stars.
It is claimed the equipment was loaded in West Palm Beach to make the journey to Swope Soccer Village.
That included analysis equipment, Thomas Tuchel’s whiteboards and massage tables.
But the report adds just one football remained in the load after the theft.
The England staff are said to still be trying to work out exactly what has been taken and how – and talkSPORT revealed two arrests have been made in connection with the staggering incident.
However, there are suggestions boots belonging to the likes of Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham could be lost.

As the magnitude of the impact sinks in, staff will no doubt be scrambling to source any replacement equipment as soon as possible.
England begin their World Cup campaign against Croatia on Wednesday and this will have a major impact on preparations.
SunSport have contacted The FA for comment.
