The England players have arrived at St George’s Park ahead of travelling to Qatar for their World Cup opener against Iran in a week’s time, as they swap the fog and mist of Burton for the sunny 30C climate of Doha.
The Three Lions stars look to be in good spirits as they greeted each other at England’s training ground, excited to be representing their country at this month’s tournament.
James Maddison showed no discomfort from the injury sustained in Leicester’s win over West Ham on Saturday and looked delighted to be back at the Burton base.
Callum Wilson was also all-smiles thanks to his current seeing him picked for England’s World Cup squad ahead of Ivan Toney and Tammy Abraham.
Harry Kane gave a big welcoming handshake to Jude Bellingham, while former Man City team-mates Jack Grealish and Raheem Sterling could be seen embracing with a hug.
Grealish’s current City pals, Kyle Walker and Kalvin Phillips were also pleased to be part of the greetings, despite both lacking game time through injury this season. Both, however, are expected to be ready for selection in Qatar.
The squad will travel to Doha today, before begining the first training session on Wednesday and then media duties on Sunday.
England will then begin their World Cup campaign against Iran on Monday.
