Spygate?
The Football Association has no concerns about an incident on Monday in which a man was spotted watching England Women training from a lofty position.
The individual was seen observing as England trained in Limonest ahead of Tuesday's World Cup semi-final against the United States at Lyon's Groupama Stadium.
He moved on after being spoken to by team and FIFA security. The man is believed to be a French local who was walking along a public footpath and happened to take an interest in the session.
England forward Nikita Parris brushed off the incident and dismissed any suggestion the squad were concerned it could have been someone from the US camp.
"They're fully focused on the semi-final like us," she said. "Obviously it's a big game for both teams and I'm sure they wouldn't be spying, using their valuable time before the semi-final.
"When you've got the title of reigning champions and you are currently the number one team in the world I don't think you would be spending your time looking at us training. I'm sure they'll be using the time effectively."
The incident comes after it emerged that at least one member of the US team's staff was in England's hotel on Sunday while Phil Neville and his players were out training.
When asked about that on Sunday, US boss Jill Ellis spoke about it as a visit made on the basis that the hotel was somewhere the team would potentially stay ahead of the final, which also takes place at Groupama Stadium.
Ellis suggested it had "probably" been "my administrator...and her boss" and said "you have to plan ahead", adding: "I think that's pretty normal."
England boss Neville described the visit as "not etiquette" and stressed "it's not something that we'd do", while also saying the incident was "not a concern".
Team news
The only player not taking part on Monday as England trained in front of the media was defender Abbie McManus, who sat things out due to feeling unwell.
Parris undeterred by penalty misses
Nikita Parris has vowed to step up with confidence if presented with the opportunity to take a penalty in England's World Cup semi-final at her new home ground.
The forward had a spot-kick saved for the second time in the tournament in France as Ingrid Hjelmseth pushed her shot away during Thursday's 3-0 last-eight win against Norway at Le Havre's Stade Oceane.
Parris had previously been thwarted from 12 yards by Vanina Correa in England's second group game, the 1-0 victory over Argentina at the same venue. Prior to that, she had scored from the spot when the Lionesses beat Scotland 2-1 in their opener in Nice.
After the Norway match, England boss Phil Neville, whose side face holders the United States in the semis on Tuesday, said of the 25-year-old: "She'll take the next one. She is our best penalty taker."
And Parris herself said: "For sure, I'll step up. I've got confidence in myself and my ability."
Ahead of the Norway contest, England midfielder Jill Scott had spoken about the work players in the squad had done with psychologists.
When asked if she would speak to one, Parris said: "For what? I don't think I need to talk to a psychologist. I'm confident in myself.
"It's not a case of I've missed a penalty and I'm down. I've just dominated the left-back for 80 or 90 minutes."
She added: "When you step up and take a penalty it's 50-50, but you've got to back yourself. The keeper made a fantastic save and I think she's done her homework on me, to be fair. So I need to go back and research and do more.
"I need to practice on the training pitch. I've got to do better on the spot. It's two penalties and two misses - it's not good enough in my opinion for my standards as a player.
"I'm disappointed in that aspect but I'm happy with my performance. I've got mixed emotions."
Mead: We don't fear USA
Beth Mead has stressed England do not fear the United States ahead of the sides' Women's World Cup semi-final and says there is great belief in the camp.
The US, who booked their place in Tuesday's match in Lyon by beating hosts France 2-1 on Friday night, top the world rankings and are the defending champions. They have won the trophy a record three times.
England - ranked third in the world - achieved their best performance in the competition four years ago when they finished third.
The last meeting between the teams was a 2-2 draw in March at the SheBelieves Cup, the US-hosted four-team tournament that the Lionesses ended up winning for the first time.
And England forward Mead told PA Sport: "They are the type of team that have been there and done it, they have won a final, they have won an Olympics, they have won a World Cup.
"They have the most experience in these situations and they are a top-class team, full of athletes. It is going to be a tough game.
"But we've been there and played them in SheBelieves. I think as a team there is nothing to fear. We just have to be ready."
