England’s full squad trained on Wednesday as they stepped up preparations for Saturday’s Euro 2024 quarter-final against Switzerland.
Gareth Southgate’s group had a day off on Tuesday as they enjoyed some rest and recovery following the 2-1 extra-time last-16 triumph against Slovakia.
England returned to training on Wednesday lunchtime, with all 26 players taking part at their Spa & GolfResort Weimarer Land base.

Luke Shaw took part in the session as he looks to feature for the first time for either club or country since mid-February.
The Manchester United left-back has been recovering from hamstring issues and was due to face the media on Wednesday afternoon.
But striker Ivan Toney spoke instead of Shaw at England’s media access in Blankenhain.
The PA news agency understands the change in schedule was not down to an injury concern, just the fact that the left-back had a change of heart over speaking as he would rather talk when he has returned to action.
