England’s World Cup preparations in the United States are disrupted after equipment is stolen from a team vehicle in Kansas City, but police and the Football Association (FA) later report that some of the stolen training kit has been recovered. Multiple outlets say the theft happens around the time the squad arrives for its first training session at the England training base in Missouri, with parts of the gear taken while equipment is transported. Reports describe missing items including players’ boots—specifically mentioning senior players and Harry Kane—and training equipment, alongside official match balls and tournament balls. By the time the FA begins inventory checks, two suspects are taken into custody, according to several sources citing Kansas City police. Other reporting notes that not all items are recovered, with some accounts stating that essential boots and match balls were not among what was retrieved. The FA is therefore preparing to replace or source missing items ahead of England’s initial session and the broader campaign. The incident is treated as an unusual setback, occurring after earlier warm-up matches in Florida proceed without similar disruption.
