On Friday afternoon, the 26-man squad returns to training at the SV Aasen 1928 facilities, in what is expected to be a session orientated towards recovery from the match against Italy in Gelsenkirchen.
The players and coaching staff are clearly overjoyed after the win against Italy clinched qualification for the last 16 of the tournament, with the group phase to be completed next Monday with the match against Albania at the Arena in Düsseldorf.
