Jamie Carragher reveals his main 'worry' for England as they beat Serbia in Euro 2024 opener

Jamie Carragher has revealed his main 'worry' for England as they beat Serbia in their opening match of Euro 2024.

Jude Bellingham scored the only goal of the game as England beat Serbia 1-0 to record three huge points.

The Real Madrid star showed off his new celebration with Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold following his headed goal.

The Three Lions dominated the opening stages of their Group C clash before losing ground in the fixture.

But Gareth Southgate's side held on for the victory ahead of resuming their campaign next Thursday against Denmark.

Despite winning their Euros opener, Carragher expressed his concern over Harry Kane, who was restricted to a bit-part role in Gelsenkirchen.

Carragher believes England's midfield rotation, which included Alexander-Arnold, hampers Kane, who touched the ball just twice in the first half.

In his column for The Telegraph, he wrote: "The only problem with so much midfield rotation is it means Kane can’t drop in between the lines like he enjoys. He only had one touch in the first 30 minutes."

Carragher compared Kane's role to the role Erling Haaland plays at Manchester City, adding: "Great start, but there are a couple of worries. Harry Kane is adopting the same role as Erling Haaland role for Manchester City - not involved outside the box and waiting for a chance. He has only touched the ball twice in 45 minutes. That’s not Kane’s game.

"Defensively, England must stop Serbia getting crosses in. They are doing that too easily and it is their best chance of scoring."

After the result, the Liverpool legend said: "After an encouraging start that turned into a satisfactory rather than excellent win for England. They ran out of steam as the game progressed. The positive was the first 30 minutes, but the system is a work in progress, especially where getting the most from Harry Kane is concerned."

Kane had more of an impact in the second half as he came close to doubling his side's lead when he hit the cross bar with a header from a Jarrod Bowen cross.
