The FA has been advised of a suspected stomach virus that has been discovered on site at St. George's Park and affected a small number of visitors over the weekend.

To date, the England Under-21 squad has not experienced any symptoms related to the virus. They have been on site since Sunday.

However, as a precautionary measure, the Under-21s are moving hotels and the England senior team will now not meet at St. George's Park on Tuesday. Alternative accommodation and training arrangements have been made for both teams.

This is an elite athlete precaution for the two senior teams. Normal operations continue for the SGP and hotel staff, customers and the public.

To reiterate, these proactive steps have been taken by The FA as a precautionary measure.
