Thomas Muller has left a good luck message to England captain Harry Kane at the Three Lions training base for the European Championships in Germany.
Kane and Muller have been team-mates at club level this season, with the England forward moving to Bayern Munich from Tottenham for £100m.
The forwards will be on opposite sides this summer with hosts Germany and England among the pre-tournament favourites.
Julian Nagelsmann's side started the preparations at the Weimarer Land Spa and Golf Resort near the town of Blankenhain.
Germany have now moved onto their Euros base at Herzogenaurach, the home of adidas.

A video released by the German national team showed Muller writing a message for Kane, which he will receive on his arrival with England in the coming days.
'Hey England, what‘s up Harry Kane. We just finished our five days in your future team basecamp here in Thuringia,' the German national team wrote on Instagram.
‘Great conditions, very friendly people, and sometimes it‘s even raining, sounds perfect, right?
‘Have a good time here in Germany! See you at the Euros!’
The training base boasts three golf courses and a padel court, as well as a robot called Robbie to serve the players and collect their dishes.
Two Michelin-star restaurants are included at the resort, which also boasts a 2,500-square-metre spa known as the 'Lindentherme'.
Mail Sport reported last month that England manager Gareth Southgate gave green light for England officials to negotiate a deal for exclusive use of the Weimarer Land Spa and Golf Resort during the tournament.
