England WAGS fly home on private jets as the hard training begins again before team's crunch Euro clash on Tuesday

England's WAGs wasted little as they began the exodus from Germany.

Three women, one holding a baby, boarded a 10-seater private jet from Erfurt, close to the team's base camp, for Liverpool at lunchtime yesterday.

The Pilatus PC-24 plane with callsign PTN122 and owned by Platoon Aviation came in from Zweibrucken to solely collect the WAGs.

A source at Erfurt airport said: 'They were the partners of England players and they were given special access through a private area to reach the plane.

'They were treated like VIPs and two security guards saw them onto the plane.

'They only had three small suitcases, so it looks like they were there for the game and spend time with members of the England team, and then return to Liverpool.

The lunchtime flight was preceded by a WAGs rush hour of flights out of Erfurt.

One, believed to have ferried captain Harry Kane's wife Kate and other family members was airborne at 8.58pm from Erfurt on Friday evening and landed in Munich at 9.28pm. Kane lives in the city as a Bayern Munich player.

At 9.46pm another jet took off for Liverpool from Erfurt, then at 9.53pm another left for London's Biggin Hill airport, and at 10.02pm another left for Manchester.

All the jets were reported to be carrying the wives, families and partners of the big-spending England players.

The airport source added: 'By hiring private jets, the women are afforded privacy.

'It is a 15-minute drive from the England hotel, and within minutes they are on the plane.

'They do not have to go into the public departure lounge, and all customs and immigration requirements are met privately and then they are driven to the plane.

'Some charter flights like these ones can cost around €10,000. But I suppose that is small change to the England stars who earn such large salaries.'

England coach Gareth Southgate had invited the player's women into the team camp at Blankenhain for 24 hours.

The get-together had been scheduled before England arrived in Germany for Euro 24.

The Three Lions manager allowed the team to spend just six hours with their loved ones but banned them from staying over, despite travelling thousands of miles across Europe to offer their support.

Each of the player's partners and some of their children were invited into the Weimarer Resort in Blankenhain, where the team is staying, to give them a 'morale boost' after their dismal draw against Denmark on Thursday, The Times reported.

This glamorous array of wives and girlfriends included the likes of former Love Island star Dani Dyer, who is dating winger Jared Bowen, Kyle Walker's wife Annie Kilner and Kate Goodland, the wife of captain Harry Kane.

Many of the WAGS, such as Dani Dyer and Meg Davison, were spotted at the Denmark match on Thursday, but it is unclear who was on board the jet from Erfurt to Liverpool.

Some of the Wags are expected back in Germany for England's match with Slovenia on Tuesday.

England hit a new low in their 1-1 draw with Denmark on Thursday night, producing one of their worst tournament performances in recent memory.

There were alarming signs in England's opening game win against Serbia as the team dropped deep for long periods, and after naming an unchanged starting XI for the clash with Denmark, there were no signs of improvement in Frankfurt.

Despite boasting a front four of Bukayo Saka, Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden and captain Harry Kane, England did not click in attack, while their midfield pairing of Declan Rice and Trent Alexander-Arnold never looked like working.
