ENGLAND’S Wags sent secret parcels to their heroes ahead of Sunday’s Euros opener against Serbia, we can reveal.
The surprise packages were placed on the players’ beds before they arrived at the team’s five-star Weimarer Spa training base in Blankenhain.
They included sealed letters from Wags that are to be opened on specific days during the tournament in Germany.
Players with children also got notes from their kids wishing them luck.
Special teddies, family photographs and meaningful keepsakes that smell of home were also included.
A source said: “Each Wag made up a box containing special items.

“They wrote letters which are to be opened on set days during the tournament to give the players that extra boost.
“They also include photographs of family and friends that they can stick on the wall of their hotel room.
“Teddies and pillows laced with perfume are in the bundle too.
“The package is designed to make them feel more at home at their training base.

“The players will hopefully be away from their loved ones for over a month – so every little detail has been seen to.”
At previous tournaments, Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate has rewarded the players for getting out of the group stage with a family day.
He is expected to follow the same approach in Germany as England bid for glory.
The Wags are expected to roar on the Three Lions inside Gelsenkirchen’s 62,000-seat Veltins Arena as they kick off their campaign on Sunday.
They will include Jordan Pickford’s missus, Megan, skipper Harry Kane’s wife, Kate, and John Stones’s other half, Olivia Naylor.
England face Denmark on June 20 before ending the group stages against Slovenia on June 25.
