The England team were back in the gym on Sunday as they recovered from their opening day defeat to Italy in Manaus.

Directly after the game at Arena Amazonia, Roy Hodgson's men made the trip back to their base in Rio de Janeiro, arriving in the early hours of Sunday morning.

In the afternoon they headed to the gym in groups to take part in a recovery session on the bikes and stretching on the mats with coach Chris Neville.

On Monday they'll return to their training ground in Urca as the build up to their next Group D game against Uruguay in Sao Paulo on Thursday night.
