THE England squad are all set to check inn to their fabulous Euro 2024 base — after Germany’s players got kicked out.

The host’s flags have been taken down from the bar, with the Three Lions crest ready to greet our stars on Monday.

Germany had eyed up the swish Weimarer Land Golf Hotel and Spa in central Germany as their tournament HQ and even set up a training camp there last month.

But they were forced to leave to please their kit sponsors Adidas — and the FA seized the best base of any team.

The staff were yesterday preparing to give Gareth Southgate’s boys a warm welcome in Blankenhain, with the hotel’s boss tipping them to win the tournament.

Owner Matthias Grafe told The Sun: “The German team wanted to be based at my hotel but they have been obliged to work with their sponsors so we’re delighted to welcome England instead.

“I have always said I’m only interested in having one team here — the team that wins the Euros — and I believe that team will be England.”

The FA snapped up the 350-acre resort — including a Wembley-quality training pitch and three golf courses — in a £800,000 deal in November.

Hotel workers and FA officials were busily completing its new England look yesterday, as The Sun’s footie mascot Harry Mane was given a tour of the roarsome facilities.

Players will stay in timber-clad rooms boasting pine forest views, and can enjoy a spa, play golf and swim indoors and out.
