All 26 players in England's Euro 2024 squad took part in an open training session in Jena, Germany, ahead of their Euro 2024 opener against Serbia on Sunday.

Gareth Southgate was given a huge boost as Luke Shaw - has been battling for fitness - partook in full team training for the first time since getting picking up a hamstring injury in February.

Shaw has been on an intense personal programme in the past week in a bid to restore his fitness and has been earmarked to make a return for the Three Lions in their second group match against Denmark on June 20. 


He was joined by John Stones, and Bukayo Saka - who had both also been doubts - as they took part in a variety of training drills with the rest of the squad in their first session since landing on German soil on Monday.

The stars were joined by several England fans who gathered in the stands at Ernst-Abbe-Sportfeld to watch the Three Lions be put through their paces.

Southgate will be relieved that Shaw has returned to full training after question marks were raised over the left-back position.

And although the opening game against Serbia will come too soon, the United full-back could prove pivotal to the side as the tournament progresses.

Meanwhile, Saka's fitness concerns seem to have improved as he was seen smiling with his teammates in the German sun.

There had been worries over Saka's match sharpness, and if he was ready for action after missing Arsenal's final match of the season.
