England duo Kyle Walker and Kieran Trippier had a brief row during training ahead of Tuesday night's showdown with Slovenia, reports say.
The Three Lions have been poor at the tournament so far, despite picking up four points from a possible six to top their Euro 2024 group.
England were disappointing in their 1-0 win over Serbia on matchday one, with Jude Bellingham scoring the only goal of the game.
And they were poor in their 1-1 draw with Denmark on Tuesday, with Gareth Southgate's side tactically outclassed as they secured a vital point.

England players have insisted the mood in the camp is 'positive', despite pressure rising ahead of their return to action.
Yet The Sun suggest more team bonding may be required after tempers boiled over during Saturday's training session.
There was reportedly an 'exchange of words' between Walker and Trippier, who have both started each of England's two games at the tournament so far.
They had been laughing and joking before Walker said something that Trippier took exception to.

The Newcastle star stood with his arms out and also had a look of anger on his face, with Phil Foden 'stepping in to play peacemaker'.
The report says both players were 'all smiles again' soon after.
England will be expected to produce a better performance than against Denmark during their clash with Slovenia.
Though they're virtually through to the knockout stages of the competition already, a point would confirm their involvement in the next round of the competition.

However, should England lose or draw, the doom and gloom mood around the country will only increase.
Walker, meanwhile, fronted up to the media in the wake of Thursday's disappointing result at the Frankfurt Arena.
And the Manchester City star downplayed concerns over their performances so far, insisting the 1-1 draw against Denmark was down to it simply being 'tournament football'.
The right-back said: "I think it's tournament football.
"This is a good Denmark team. We're top of the group so let's try to take a positive from this game.
