England ramp up preparation for final Euro 2024 Group C clash against Slovenia as they look to bounce back from Denmark draw... but there's STILL no sign of Luke Shaw in training

Luke Shaw was once again absent from England training on Saturday as the Three Lions prepared for their final group game of Euro 2024.

All eyes have been on Gareth Southgate and his side following their disappointing draw against Denmark on Sunday afternoon. 

England have the chance to redeem themselves against Slovenia on Tuesday afternoon as they look to secure their place in the knock-out stages.

Southgate and captain Harry Kane were deep in conversation as the players emerged for training at the Three Lions's Blankenhain base on Saturday, with 25 of the 26 players present. 

The player absent once again was Shaw, who trained alone inside. As it stands, Shaw is yet to feature at the tournament. 

It was hoped that he would be able to play a part against Denmark, but he remains unavailable and it appears unlikely that he will feature against Slovenia on Tuesday.

The Three Lions goalkeepers were first out to the training field on Saturday, with the outfield players not too far behind.

Jordan Pickford, Tom Heaton and Dean Henderson were snapped with goalkeeping coach Martyn Margetson off the back of England conceding their first goal of the tournament against Denmark through Morten Hjulmand's long-range effort.

The likes of Adam Wharton and Conor Gallagher were seen in photos from the session as they battle it out the step into the Three Lions' midfield.

Southgate admitted after the draw with Denmark that Trent Alexander-Arnold had been used in the positon as an 'experiment', one that is now likely over after two early substitutions.

Gallagher was the replacement in both of those games, though calls have arisen for Wharton to be included due to his positive intent.

Cole Palmer and Anthony Gordon were also seen getting warm during the session, later enjoying some ball work amid calls for the two forwards to get some minutes.

Neither player has stepped foot on the pitch so far at the tournament despite England's attackign struggles, with fans pointing to Gordon's direct running and Palmer's impressive season for Chelsea as reasons why they should feature.

Against Denmark, Southgate changed his whole front three in the second half, with Kane, Bukayo Saka and Phil Foden making way for Ollie Watkins, Jarrod Bowen and Eberechi Eze.

Changes are likely to be made for the match against Slovenia, likely starting in midfield amid Alexander-Arnold's struggled.

Calls have also been made for Jude Bellingham to drop back, with Southgate bizarrely suggesting that he has struggled to cope without Kalvin Phillips.

It wasn't all doom and gloom for England, however, with Phil Foden, who too has received criticism for his showings at the tournament so far, cracking a smile as he trianed with Kieran Trippier.

Trippier has been the man to stand in at left back for England so far in Germany while they await Shaw to recceive the all-clear, but arguments have been made that England have been too lop-sided.

Trippier has regularly looked to come inside onto his favoured right foot during games, with Foden also drifting centrally from the left of midfield, leaving few options for England on that side.

Joe Gomez is an option at left back, though he is also right footed. He would present a more defensive-minded option, however. 

England will likely go through to the last 16 whatever happens on Tuesday, but drastic questions would be asked if they fail to get a result against Slovenia.

A win would put them on seven points and see them win the group, while anything less could see them finish second and potentially even third.
