England arrived in France on Monday afternoon as preparations for the European Championships reach full swing.
The FA proudly showed off several photos of Roy Hodgson and his 23-man squad, but Chris Smalling stole the limelight after he was pictured dragging around a stuffed lion.
Smalling is revered as one of the Premier League's best defenders, but ahead of the Three Lions' opener against Russia on Saturday opposition strikers will be cackling with laughter at the sight of him carrying around a toy.
The 26-year-old's girlfriend, Sam Cooke, then posted an image on Instagram with the caption "I'm a lucky girl xxx #dontaskaboutthelion #threelions."
A lot of people expressed their bemusement at the sight of the Manchester United defender's companion, but it's currently unclear if he is a squad mascot
England kick-off their Euros campaign in Marseille at the Stade Velodrome against Russia and supporters will be roaring them onto victory.
The pressure is building on Hodgson's men to deliver in France, but they will also need to overcome tricky tests against Wales and Slovakia in order to reach the knock-out stages of the tournament.
