THE Three Lions were finally on song yesterday as they belted out a rousing rendition of Happy Birthday for Jude Bellingham and Eberechi Eze.

Hey Jude, score us a birthday belter!

Real Madrid superstar Jude turned 21 on the eve of the crunch Euro 2024 clash against Slovakia while Crystal Palace striker Eberechi celebrated his 26th.

The pair woke up to find balloons and banners on their doors inside England’s team hotel in Blankenhain, Germany .

And later the morning team meeting was interrupted by a rousing singalong from the rest of the 26-man squad.

Jude’s younger brother, Jobe, 18, who plays for Championship side Sunderland, also got in on the act, posting photos of them on social media.

Birthday cake and champagne were off the menu so close to tonight’s game but “a healthy alternative” was arranged.

The players trained as normal before making the 225mile journey to Gelsenkirchen where today’s knockout round match kicks off at 5pm.

Despite finishing top of their group, manager Gareth Southgate has faced widespread criticism for the style of football.
