England ramp up preparation for final Euro 2024 group game as they look to bounce back from Denmark showing... but there's STILL no sign of Luke Shaw in training

The Three Lions are back in action on Tuesday night when they face SloveniaDoubts remain over Luke Shaw's involvement in the tournament due to injuryLISTEN to It's All Kicking Off! The Luke Shaw call by Gareth Southgate has been an absolute stinker! It was another mistake and left England so lopsided 

Luke Shaw was once again absent from England training on Saturday as the Three Lions prepared for their final group game of Euro 2024.

All eyes have been on Gareth Southgate and his side following their disappointing draw against Denmark, with one game left for the Three Lions to impress before the knock-out stages.

Southgate and captain Harry Kane were deep in conversation as the players emerged for training at the Three Lions's Blankenhain base on Saturday, with 25 of the 26 players out to prepare.

The player absent was once again Luke Shaw, who is yet to see a minute at the tournament as he continues to try and prove his fitness after injury.

It was hoped the defender would be able to play a part against Denmark, but he remains unavailable and it, so far, appears unlikely that he will feature against Slovenia on Tuesday.

Jordan Pickford, Tom Heaton and Dean Henderson were snapped with goalkeeping coach Martyn Margetson on the back of England conceding their first goal of the tournament agaisnt Denmark through Morten Hjulmand's long-range effort.

The likes of Adam Wharton and Conor Galagher were seen in photos from the session as they battle it out the step into the Three Lions' midfield.

Southgate admitted after the draw with Denmark that Trent Alexander-Arnold had been used in the positon as an 'experiment', one that is now likely over after two early substitutions.

Gallagher was the replacement in both of those games, though calls have arisen for Wharton to be included due to his positive intent.

Cole Palmer and Anthony Gordon were also seen getting warm during the session, later enjoying some ball work amid calls for the two forwards to get some minutes.

Neither player has stepped foot on the pitch so far at the tournament despite England's attackign struggles, with fans pointing to Gordon's direct running and Palmer's impressive season for Chelsea as reasons why they should feature.

Against Denmark, Southgate changed his whole front three in the second half, with Kane, Bukayo Saka and Phil Foden making way for Ollie Watkins, Jarrod Bowen and Eberechi Eze.

Changes are likely to be made for the match against Slovenia, likely starting in midfield amid Alexander-Arnold's struggled.

Calls have been made for Jude Bellingham to drop back, with Southgate bizarrely suggesting that he has struggled to cope without Kalvin Phillips.
