England stars’ clothes spill onto tarmac at Birmingham airport as careless baggage handlers dump bags ahead of Euro 2024 flight

ENGLAND’s stars have seen their clothes laid out on the tarmac before heading to Germany for Euro 2024.

The Three Lions begin their campaign on Sunday against Serbia.

England prepared for the opener at their St George’s Park training base and met Prince William before departing at Birmingham Airport yesterday.

Gareth Southgate’s side boarded a plane to Erfurt Weimar Airport – just a 40-minute drive from their luxury base in Blankenhain.

But the players were shocked if they glanced out the windows and looked at the track.

Several stars’ clothes were left lying on the tarmac as clumsy airport staff rushed to pick them up.

White t-shirts and black hoodies were strewn on the ground before being loaded into the hold.

Bags were spotted leaning from trolleys, while cardboard boxes were stacked on top of each other and appeared to be crushed.

A suitcase even fell to the floor and a T-shirt was stepped on by a baggage handler.

England aren’t the only ones to have suffered a nightmare at Birmingham Airport this week as long waits saw holidaymakers queued outside the terminal.

There appears to have been confusion with passengers incorrectly believing that a new 100ml liquid procedure had been launched.

In May, Birmingham Airport introduced a £60m “state-of-the-art” security room which allows travelers to carry liquids of up to two litres.

But the new system has not yet been approved.

But one in five bags going through failed to get the green light from security and resulted in delays of between 20 and 70 minutes.

Shortly after landing, the England players headed to the five-star Weimarer Land Spa and Golf resort.

The luxury venue has football pitches, 45 holes of golf, a gym, spa, swimming pool, treatment and conference rooms, as well as a games area and two Michelin-starred restaurants.
