Following the team’s poor showing in the international friendly duels has heightened pressure on Chris Hughton and the team.

But ex-England international, Ryan Bertrand, who is a keen admirer of Hughton has thrown his support behind the coach.

“International or domestic football, everything can happen. There is some stage you cannot be in the best form and end up doing well and sometimes you can be in great form and end up under-achieving,” he told 3 Sports.

“I think the last two tests in the USA and Mexico were good tests, different style of football and different opposition and I feel they are in great hands under Chris Hughton and I am sure by the time the tournament comes up, they would be ready,” he added.
