ENGLAND got down to business on the training pitch today as they prepare for Wednesday’s Euros semi-final.
Gareth Southgate’s men were hard at work at St George’s Park – two days before their Wembley showdown with Denmark.
The entire squad trained on Monday morning, including the newly-christened left-back ‘Shawberto Carlos’.
Man Utd defender Shaw set up two goals as England romped past Ukraine in the quarter-finals on Saturday night.
And his Three Lions team-mates have come up with a new nickname comparing him to Brazil legend Roberto Carlos.
Jadon Sancho said on the Lions Den You Tube series: “We got Shawberto Carlos here, Luke Shaw, yes we do.”
And Harry Kane was heard saying “Shawberto” in a separate video posted to England’s Twitter feed.
Shaw’s stellar display in Rome on Saturday night even earned praise from Carlos himself.
The Brazilian legend commented with eight clapping emojis on Shaw’s Instagram post after England’s 4-0 thrashing of Ukraine.

Shaw was asked about the Carlos comparisons earlier this year after his impressive form for Manchester United.
And he told the club’s official website: “I’ll be honest I’ve seen some things on it on social media and sometimes in my group chats my mates send me some stuff and I just laugh about it.
“I can’t be compared to him, he was unbelievable. I’m aware of it and it’s nice to be even mentioned alongside his name, but I just laugh about it.”
England are two days away from a first Euros semi-final in 25 years.
Southgate’s side are yet to concede a goal in the tournament and face Denmark in front of 60,000 fans at Wembley.
Kane scored twice while Harry Maguire and Jordan Henderson were also on the score sheet in the 4-0 thrashing of Ukraine in Rome.
The winners of Wednesday’s semi-final will face either Italy or Spain in the Euro 2020 final on Sunday at Wembley.
