England had a positive first camp under interim boss Lee Carsley, claiming two wins out of two in the Nations League.

England claimed back-to-back victories over the Republic of Ireland and Finland, with Declan Rice, Jack Grealish and Harry Kane all on target.

Carsley brought in new additions to the squad and handed debuts to the likes of Morgan Gibbs-White, Angel Gomes and Noni Madueke.

But when players have turned up to St Georges' Park to link up with the rest of the squad in recent times, many have seen sporting mysterious black boxes to go along with their suitcases and bags.

Some have even attached it to a case which only makes the boxes further blend in.

Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, Jarrod Bowen, Cole Palmer, Kobbie Mainoo, Jack Grealish, Tino Livramento, Ezra Konsa and Rico Lewis have all been seen with the box and there has been plenty of intrigue as to what is inside.

It turns out that the Three Lions stars have been carrying POGA cases, which are portable gaming systems.



Essentially, the company's cases allow for players to bring their PlayStation or Xbox consoles with them while they travel.

The company's website explains: "POGA is the brand when it comes to bringing your console setup to the next level.

"Our mission is to give everyone the opportunity to be flexible and play wherever you want without losing quality. Get your friends, start socializing and enjoy the best gaming experience whether you are online or offline."

A number of the England players are avid gamers, passing time in between training by playing EA Sports FC and Fortnite.

POGA have various different versions and styles but all come with top-tier gaming monitor.

Many have opted for the 'Yez' option, which costs £1,636 but comes with a trolley to ferry it around.
