ENGLAND are renting a massive outside TV screen from RB Leipzig to help with their Euro 2024 preparations.

German boss Julian Nagelsmann borrowed it from his former club Leipzig.
And he used it for analysis during his sessions to help his players.
England boss Gareth Southgate has decided not to have the high-tech equipment next to the training pitch.
But it has been moved elsewhere at the Three Lions’ basecamp to be used for analysis with the players.
Southgate’s squad will train at their Blankenhain HQ this morning for the first time as yesterday, they staged an open session in the city of Jena.
England will also train at the resort tomorrow, Friday and Saturday.
They will then head to Gelsenkirchen for Sunday’s opening match against Serbia.

Rangnick used to play golf at the resort In his four years as Leipzig coach.
It was his favourite course in the region and he wanted to remain there all the time during Euro 2024 campaign.
But Rangnick failed in his bid to have Austria stay there as England got to it first.
Meanwhile, former Barnsley and Red Bull Salzburg boss Gerhard Struber revealed he snubbed a job offer from Rangnick – but backed him to cause a shock with Austria in Germany.
He told Sun Sport: “He did a great job the last few years with Austria. He implemented the ideal football to bring the group together and also it brings results.
“We have got a good collective but not the biggest stars – and I think that with this style of play, against any team in the world, we will get good chances.

“They are unbeaten in seven and have won six, so the spirit in the team is outstanding.
“Every single player is happy when they come together to play for Austria and this is a new move.
“The old legends say ‘we need an Austrian coach, only an Austrian coach can bring this fire’ – and he’s shown it’s absolutely not necessary.
“Ralf has shown in the last few years that he is outstanding as he’s brought this fire to the group but also a clear identity for Austria to be successful against teams with a completely different quality of players.”
Austria face France on Monday in their opening group game before then taking on Poland and Netherlands.
