The Three Lions arrived in St. Petersburg on Tuesday and are one of three teams based in the city to have made the request for extra privacy during their preparations.

Their pitch has been surrounded by a green semitransparent fence, estimated to be about five metres high.

In early March, Sergey Klimov, who was then the acting first deputy chairman of the St. Petersburg Construction Committee, told Sputnik that three teams set to be based in St. Petersburg, namely, England, South Korea and Costa Rica, had requested to surround their training pitches with a fence.

Russian media reported later that the request to install the fence was confirmed only by England.

England will take on Tunisia in Volgograd on June 18 before facing Panama in Nizhny Novgorod on June 24 and playing Belgium in Kaliningrad on June 28 in their Group G matches.
