Following their impressive performance in reaching the final of this summer’s tournament, Gareth Southgate’s England players are taking some well-deserved time off to recharge and unwind. After enduring a grueling Premier League campaign last season, the young stars are making the most of their break before returning to their respective clubs.
Several members of the England squad were spotted in Mykonos, Greece, enjoying the sun and sea of the picturesque island. Among them were best friends Declan Rice and Mason Mount, who showcased their basketball skills on a yacht, donning iconic jerseys of basketball legends Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant.
Manchester United’s Luke Shaw, who scored in the final against Italy, also joined his teammates on the boat, while Chelsea’s Ben Chilwell relaxed before his club’s Champions League defense. Kalvin Phillips and Ben White, set to join Arsenal, were spotted together on a yacht after their contributions to England’s success in reaching the final.
The England players were not the only ones enjoying their holidays. Manchester City’s Kyle Walker entertained his teammates with a rendition of “Sweet Caroline” at SantAnna beach club, while Reece James shared snapshots of his adventures with girlfriend Mia-Florence McClenaghan, albeit receiving a playful jab from Rice for his choice of attire.
Raheem Sterling took a moment to relax in a cabin lounge, while Tyrone Mings soaked up the sun in Ibiza, partying with Wayne Lineker. Borussia Dortmund’s Jude Bellingham enjoyed quality time with his brother Jobe, capturing stunning moments by the pool and seaside.
Closer to home, Wayne Rooney’s wife Coleen treated their sons to a day out at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, creating cherished family memories.
As the players unwind and recharge during their break, fans eagerly anticipate their return to action, hoping they bring the same energy and determination that led England to the final of Euro 2020.
