England stars enjoyed a private performance by singer Ed Sheeran as they enjoyed some time away from training amid Euro 2024.
The Shape of You singer was filmed performing a rendition of his classic The A Team to the squad on Monday following a warm-down session.
Sheeran has visited the England squad previously and the 33-year-old has been spotted attending matches throughout this year’s competition.
The singer was present during the 1-1 draw with Denmark during the group stages as well as the recent 2-1 win against Slovakia.
BBC Sport shared photos of the musician with the team, but the fan response towards both Sheeran and the England team was very mixed.
One person penned: “Very spoilt, time for us to step up our performances and relax (after all those yoga and relaxation classes)!”

Another quipped: “I hope he’s promised to come back if they lose to the Swiss.”
Including a mix of Sheeran’s most famous tracks, another wrote: “Well Ed probably thinking it’s not been perfect so far but thinking out loud is what Southgate should do to get them into a shape (of you). The bad habits have to stop now for England to win the Euros with the A team.”
“Music is a therapy,” another shared while someone else commented: “He played better than them.”
Another took a swipe by adding: “Can we all agree they’ve finally found rock bottom.”
However, others applauded both Sheeran and the team, with one writing: “Unreal. what a guy.”
Sheeran also made headlines this week for making critical remarks about London, stating “all areas” are “dangerous” and “sketchy”.
In a chat with US podcaster Theo Von, the popular singer was asked: “What’s the most dangerous place to be around here?”
“Here? I’d say every area of London. Literally, every area is sketchy,” the Shape of You singer replied candidly.

He continued: “I think that you cannot be anywhere. It’s not like a segregated city. No, I mean the nice areas are sketchy, the bad areas are sketchy, but you just have to not do stupid s***.
“If you wander around with, I dunno, like a Louis Vuitton duffel bag and a £200,000 watch, you are going to get robbed,” he insisted before suggesting: “But just don’t do that.”
