Most opted for sliders but a few chose trainers as pretty much all of the players wore sunglasses.

And Aaron Ramsdale wisely took extra precautions by wearing a cap to protect his neck while Conor Coady sensibly carries a bottle of water.

John Stones, Eric Dier and Jude Bellingham are then seen soaking up the rays after removing their tops beside the water.

Harry Maguire enjoys a good chat with back-up goalkeeper Nick Pope with Callum Wilson clearly having a great time as he rocks a beaming smile.

Kalvin Phillips, who looks dapper with his shades, tattoos and freshly-done hair, even poses for selfies with a few delighted England fans who have made the trip out to Qatar.
