England U19s' preparations for the final Group B game with Greece continued on Saturday with a rather high tempo training session at their Nová Ves training base in the Czech Republic.
The Young Lions go into Sunday's game knowing that they must win if they are to stand any chance of progressing to the semi-final, whilst hoping that Italy don't beat the Czech Republic in the other group game.
What really makes it interesting is that Greece also know that if they can win, they can still progress too so everything in the group is wide open going into the final games.
The training session from Saturday evening saw the squad work on team patterns, shooting and set-pieces along with some quite vigourous warm-ups prior to that.
Head Coach Brian Eastick and Assistant Coach Noel Blake then spoke to the players as a group, no doubt further preparing them for Sunday's decider.
