- England players are preparing for their final two Nations League group games
- The Three Lions are set to face Italy and Germany in the upcoming week
- Players delayed their arrival so they could watch the Queen’s funeral on Monday
- Ahead of their first training session, a minute’s silence was held for the Queen
England players held a minute’s silence ahead of their first training session together since the Queen’s death.
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II passed away on September 8, and England manager Gareth Southgate delayed the team’s arrival at their St George’s Park training base, so that players could watch Monday’s funeral with their families.
One day on from the funeral, Harry Kane led his England team-mates in a minute’s silence in memory of the late monarch.
The squad has joined together for the last time before the World Cup gets underway in two months time.
In the next week, England will be looking to avoid relegation from the Nations League, when they face European giants Italy at the San Siro on Friday, before hosting Germany at Wembley next Monday.
Southgate, along with the Football Association, confirmed that tributes will be held before English’s clash with Germany at the national stadium.
