Southgate has given his squad the weekend off from preparations from the upcoming finals in Portugal and has permitted his players to fly abroad if they decide to. The 13 players who reported for international duty on Tuesday will reconvene at St George's Park on Monday, when they will be joined by Manchester City's Treble-winning stars and Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho. England boss Gareth Southgate will allow his players to fly abroad for holidays this weekend Those involved in the Europa League and Champions League finals will report on June 3 — just three days prior to the Nations League opener against Holland. In the past England players have had to surrender their passports ahead of tournaments, essentially preventing them from going overseas, but Southgate wants to nurture a far more relaxed atmosphere around the England camp, preferring to treat his squad like adults. Meanwhile, work in Portugal in preparation for Southgate squad's arrival is already underway. England's players will arrive in Portugal on June 5, where they will stay at a state of the art facility in Guimaraes and they are expected to train at local club Vitoria, and delegates from the England camp have already begun preparations ahead of Southgate men's arrival.
