Declan Rice took on a different role during England’s preparations for their upcoming clash with Denmark, turning photographer to capture moments from the team’s training session. Gareth Southgate’s squad is focused on building momentum following their narrow 1-0 victory over Serbia in their Euro 2024 opener, aiming to secure a path to the knockout stages.

Rice enthusiastically shared his snapshots with teammates Jude Bellingham and Trent Alexander-Arnold, adding a personal touch to their training routine. Later, Bellingham and Alexander-Arnold playfully recreated their goal celebration from the Serbia match, injecting some camaraderie into the team atmosphere.

Despite some imperfections in their performance against Serbia, Gareth Southgate draws encouragement from their winning start. The manager faces intriguing selection dilemmas, including whether to persist with Phil Foden on the left wing after a somewhat subdued display in the previous game. Conor Gallagher, who made an impact off the bench against Serbia, is pushing for a starting role in midfield. The fitness of Luke Shaw, pivotal for the left-back position, remains uncertain.

Looking ahead, Brentford’s Thomas Frank has issued a warning, suggesting Denmark will be fueled by a sense of injustice from their Euro 2020 encounter with England. England advanced to the final with a contentious penalty won by Raheem Sterling and converted by Harry Kane.

Following their match against Denmark, England’s final group game awaits against Serbia on June 25th.
