Sheeran has previously visited the squad at the last Euros when they reached the final before losing on penalties to Italy. And the singer returned to their team hotel at Spa & GolfResort Weimarer Land after watching their win against Slovakia in Gelsenkirchen on Sunday.
Gareth Southgate planned to give his players some time to rest after the extra-time victory which saw them seconds from going out of the competition before Jude Bellingham’s spectacular scissor-kick equaliser.
Players did a light warm-down session on Monday and Sheeran visited them for his acoustic gig later in the day.

As punishment?
Nice to see them giving him the save energy they gave the match.
I’m pretty agnostic on Ed – never seek out his music, but if it’s on in the background no real issue.
But the way he raises his pitch/volume over and over in this song would make me murderous – and that’s just from a 12 second clip.
But them all nicely to sleep and woke after second half.
