England are preparing to fly to Germany ahead of this summer's European Championship and will stay at the Weimarer Land Golf Hotel and Spa in Blankenhain - the resort which the hosts wanted
Gareth Southgate's side, who suffered a humiliating 1-0 defeat at home to Iceland on Friday in what was supposed to be a joyful Wembley send-off, are packing their bags to fly to Germany on Monday ahead of the tournament. England are one of just two nations who'll be based in former east Germany, with the Weimarer Land Golf Hotel and Spa in Blankenhain their chosen hotel.
That allowed England to book their stay in Blankenhain, with hotel owner Matthias Grafe telling the Sun : "The German team wanted to be based at my hotel but they have been obliged to work with their sponsors so we're delighted to welcome England instead." The hosts had a pre-tournament training camp at the resort last month before their friendlies clashes with Ukraine and Greece. German flags and pictures of their most well-known players like Thomas Muller have now been replaced by England's colours and images of Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham and their Three Lions team-mates.
Southgate and his players are currently reflecting on a disappointing result at Wembley against Iceland, who aren't even going to Euro 2024. "We know the performance wasn't good enough but I think we needed the game. So many of the players needed the game," Southgate explained.
