Ismailia Stadium, Egypt

England have been at their Ismailia base in Egypt for just over a day now and have already had two training sessions ahead of Saturday's World Cup opener with Uruguay.

After arriving late on Monday evening, their first outing at the Sports Support Resort came on Tuesday night, when they took part in a fairly heavy session under the floodlights before resting overnight ahead of Wednesday.

The first of a double session took place on Wednesday morning, as the players were again put through their paces in rising temperatures before cooling off in the swimming pool at the resort.

They will again be training on Wednesday evening as the countdown to Saturday's opener continues and you can keep in touch with everything that's happening right here on TheFA.com.
