Former England international Frank Lampard watched the Three Lions train ahead of this month’s friendlies.
However, four other familiar faces were absent from the session as England prepare for their clash against Brazil on Saturday, which is live on talkSPORT.

The Times Chief Football Writer Henry Winter posted a snap of John McDermott, the FA’s technical director with Lampard and former Millwall boss and ex-interim England Under-20s boss Joe Edwards watching the Three Lions train on Wednesday.
He also states McDermott invited the duo to watch training at St George’s Park.
Edwards worked with Lampard at Chelsea and Everton.
Whilst Edwards was sacked by Millwall in February, Lampard has been out of work for longer.
The former England, Chelsea and Manchester City midfielder has been out of work since his interim spell at Stamford Bridge last year.
Lampard made 106 appearances for his country from 1999 to 2014, netting 29 goals in that time.
Meanwhile, Southgate – who talkSPORT understands will be a leading contender for to become Man United manager should they part ways with Erik ten Hag – was without some of his stars for the session.
Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka, Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane, Chelsea’s Cole Palmer and Ajax’s Jordan Henderson were all absent and on personal training programmes.
