A day in the life with Djed Spence

Ever wondered what the day after a game at the FIFA World Cup looks like for an England player?

Well, now you can find out as Three Lions defender Djed Spence takes us through what a recovery day consists of at the squad’s World Cup base in Kansas City following the quarter-final win over Norway.

In the latest episode of our Extra Time series on the England app, Spence takes the camera behind-the-scenes at an England camp to show us how his day unfolded right from his early morning skincare routine and through to his post-match breakfast choice to “recharge the body”.

He then takes us along to a stretching session with his teammates, before he joins Reece James to go and film an episode of Lions’ Den, meeting some local fans along the way.

Lunch is followed by a trip to the recovery pool, before bumping into Eberechi Eze for a game of pool in the hotel.

Djed’s recovery day ends with a spell in the cryo-chamber, another method to help an athlete’s body to recover from the physical demands of elite level football.
