The first wave of England WAGs has touched down in the US as the players go through their paces in training.
Captain Harry Kane and his side held their second session of the opening trip to Florida today. It was behind closed doors after they signed autographs and posed for selfies with fans on Tuesday.
Kane, 32, was pictured with his wife, Kate, at their training base in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. She wrote simply: “Recharged” in a post after the England captain and his team completed a tough session in the heat and humidity.
They were asked to do press ups as a ‘forfeit’ during fitness work in the first session as manager Thomas Tuchel looked on.
Onlookers felt there was a good atmosphere in the camp, with the players clearly enjoying some of the games.

Other families have also made the trip, including Mark Bellingham, the dad of midfielder Jude, and Noel Scott, the father of Bournemouth midfielder Alex.
Jordan Pickford’s wife, Megan, 30, is understood to be traveling to the US after a Caribbean break. The players’ families were encouraged to holiday with the stars in the same time zone before the squad met for training.
Arsenal stars were given extra time off due to the Champions League final at the weekend. Bukayo Saka’s girlfriend Tolami Benson, 26, and Chelsea captain Reece James’s partner Mia McClenaghan are due to attend the games.

They will likely form a group to travel around the US, following the team and enjoying the sights near the different venues. England face friendlies against New Zealand on Saturday and Costa Rica on Wednesday before making their way to their base in Kansas City.
Some squad members have already travelled separately. Arsenal stars are taking a break after their Champions League final defeat in Budapest, Hungary.

Security will be tight at England’s first World Cup group game on June 17 at the 80,000-seater AT&T Stadium in Arlington, near Dallas. Hundreds of extra police have been drafted in and a no-fly zone will be in place.
Police there and in the ten other US cities hosting World Cup games will use anti-drone guns to jam or take control of hostile flying threats.
Hexacopter drones would then net the incoming device and carry it away for safe disposal. Military chiefs in Mexico and Canada will use hand-held anti-drone jamming guns and fixed electronic warfare systems.
