England Under-21s enjoyed their final training session ahead of Tuesday's Euro clash with San Marino on Monday morning.

Gareth Southgate's squad know that three points in Shrewsbury will see them really tighten their grip on Qualifying Group One as they head into 2014.

And with the Three Lions likely to face a packed defence from the visitors from the very first whistle, Monday's session saw a lot of work for the outfield players on attacking in tight spaces.

Set-pieces can also prove crucial in games like this and a number of the squad took aim with some free-kicks at the end of the session, whilst all three goalkeepers were put through their paces by coach Martin Thomas.

The squad will now spend their final night at St. George's Park before travelling across to Shropshire on Tuesday morning, where preparations for the game will continue.

There are no more tickets available for the sold-out game at Greenhous Meadow, but the match is being screened live on BT Sport and there will be highlights on TheFA.com on Wednesday.
