England full-back Kieran Trippier was cheekily 'stitched-up' by his international team-mates while in training.

The Newcastle right-back joined in with a friendly juggling game inside the team's indoor facilities and was left clamouring for the camera to leave during the harmless fun which England shared online. Trippier jokingly ordered to "get the camera away" after Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale knocked the ball into his path before it was parried away with a bad touch during a game of keepie-uppie.

Kieran had already 'lost' the game earlier on in the clip that was posted on the England national team's official YouTube channel and had just laughed it off. However, after the second fail where he was being targeted, he began to laugh and playfully repeated the phrase "let me talk, let me talk".

This phrase could have been a joke at the expense of Belgian international Kevin De Bruyne, whose previous outburst went viral on social media as his voice cracked during a bust-up with former Manchester City team-mate David Silva.

This outburst occurred at the half-time whistle during a Champions League game against Napoli in 2017 – and Trippier would most likely be well aware of this viral clip that is still used as a meme on social media to this day.

Jack Grealish, Declan Rice and Jordan Pickford were all also involved in the fun football game and were all falling about laughing as Kieran accused the group of it being a "five versus one" in the game. Ramsdale tried to placate the joking Trippier and said the other players were "setting each other up" as the star agreed.

He then pointed at the filming crew and said: "Get that camera away from me", as the shot panned out to a wider angle and all the footballers surrounded him to cheekily try to calm his frustration.

City star Grealish then stated he'd give Trippier "an easy one" next round and playfully tapped his cheek as the Newcastle man just smiled and watched Grealish throw the ball over his head and jog away.

The England squad have joined up to train ahead of their upcoming friendly tonight against Bosnia and Herzegovina to help them prepare for Euro 2024 later this month.

The Three Lions have also got a friendly match planned for this Friday (June 7) against Iceland as they look ahead to their first group stage match of Euro 2024 on Sunday, June 16. The Three Lions will start their Euro 2024 challenge against Serbia, before facing Denmark and Slovenia in Group C.

England fans can tune in to watch the game against Bosnia and Herzegovina tonight on Channel 4 at 7:45pm, with the friendly being played at Newcastle's home ground of St James' Park - which is coincidentally enough where Trippier plays his club football.
