Frank Lampard spotted at England training but Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka among missing stars

Former England international Frank Lampard watched the Three Lions train ahead of this month’s friendlies.

However, four other familiar faces were absent from the session as England prepare for their clash against Brazil on Saturday, which is live on talkSPORT.

He also states McDermott invited the duo to watch training at St George’s Park.

Edwards worked with Lampard at Chelsea and Everton.

Whilst Edwards was sacked by Millwall in February, Lampard has been out of work for longer.

Lampard made 106 appearances for his country from 1999 to 2014, netting 29 goals in that time.

Meanwhile, Southgate – who talkSPORT understands will be a leading contender for to become Man United manager should they part ways with Erik ten Hag – was without some of his stars for the session.

Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka, Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane, Chelsea’s Cole Palmer and Ajax’s Jordan Henderson were all absent and on personal training programmes.
