Players have developed several ways to keep busy when they’re not training.

While at the training base in Blankenhain, the stars created several games to relax.

One activity involves a 6,000-piece LEGO set of Harry Potter’s Hogwarts Castle.

Lewis Dunk admitted he is building the castle together with team masseur Ben Mortlock.

The Brighton captain said: “It will be Hogwarts. It’s not just me. Me and Ben the masseur are working on it.

“To be fair, he has done more than me so far. He’s loving it.

“I did a little. I’m glad my kids aren’t here to destroy everything!”

Players also created a game to play at the spa and wellness center.

Their competitiveness came into play when they played the final game in the wood-paneled sauna.

It is believed that Liverpool’s Joe Gomez is often the winner and the best at withstanding the heat.

Another popular game among gamers is called “Wolf”, which is based on the BBC gameshow Traitors.

The English stars adapted it into a card game in which a large group has to exterminate a small team of wolves.

The game gained prominence following Jude Bellingham’s celebration after his goal against Serbia.

There was also more activity-based gaming, as a clip of Declan Rice, Aaron Ramsdale and Kieran Trippier playing cricket emerged online.

Players also went to the padel courts to participate in mini tennis matches.

The game became popular after the Qatar World Cup and the likes of Phil Foden, Kobbie Mainoo, Cole Palmer and Adam Wharton were seen taking part.

Cycling has also been adopted by several players, such as Marc Guehi, Ivan Toney and Anthony Gordon.

The Newcastle star, however, suffered an unfortunate accident when he fell off his bike, which left him with some cuts and scrapes.

Gordon was lucky not to have caused further damage as Czech Republic midfielder Michal Sadilek was ruled out of Euro 2024 after falling off his bike just days before the start of the tournament.

Harry Kane has been photographed playing several different sports, such as football, golf and darts.

While others like Trent Alexander-Arnold, Palmer and Gordon also play snooker.

Aston Villa stars Ezri Konsa and Ollie Watkins also played Teqball at the camp.
