Captain Harry Kane and the England squad continued the build-up to the Euro 2020 last-16 clash against Germany at their St George's Park training base on Saturday.
Manager Gareth Southgate put his squad through their paces with the game at Wembley Stadium just three days away.
Chelsea pair Mason Mount and Ben Chilwell continued to train away from the main group as they continue an isolation period following contact with club-mate Billy Gilmour after the goalless draw with Scotland.
Gilmour subsequently tested positive for Covid-19 and Public Health England ruled that Mount and Chilwell must isolate until 12:01am on Tuesday.
The pair were forced to miss England's 1-0 win over Czech Republic that saw them clinch top spot in Group D and a last-16 match against the Germans.
With Mount absent, fan-favourite Jack Grealish started the game and set-up the winning goal for Raheem Sterling at Wembley.
Germany, meanwhile, drew their final Group F game with Hungary 2-2 which meant Joachim Low's team finished second in the table, one point behind France.

Sugary teas and iced coffees
The tax authority is yet to release a list of the taxed products, but it appears likely that sugary iced teas and cold coffees will be hit.
For instance, the non-fizzy drink AriZona Iced Tea contains 65 grams of sugar – about 16 teaspoons – per 680ml can. The average can costs about Dh6, which would rise to Dh9.
Cold coffee brands are likely to be hit too. Drinks such as Starbucks Bottled Mocha Frappuccino contain 31g of sugar in 270ml, while Nescafe Mocha in a can contains 15.6g of sugar in a 240ml can.

Labour dispute
The insured employee may still file an ILOE claim even if a labour dispute is ongoing post termination, but the insurer may suspend or reject payment, until the courts resolve the dispute, especially if the reason for termination is contested. The outcome of the labour court proceedings can directly affect eligibility.
