England stars Declan Rice and Mason Mount swapped football for basketball as they continue to enjoy their summer holiday following Euro 2020 final heartbreak.
The pair jetted off to the Greek island of Mykonos following England’s penalty shootout defeat by Italy in the Euros final at Wembley on July 11.
Both Rice and Mount were seen singing along to Neil Diamond’s hit Sweet Caroline with Three Lions team-mates Luke Shaw and Kyle Walker at a restaurant in Mykonos over the weekend.

The 22-year-old also posted a picture alongside Mount and Shaw on the boat with the caption ‘holiday vibes’ on Sunday.
Rice, Mount and Shaw were seen sat down at a long table enjoying a meal, while a remix of Diamond’s famous song ‘Sweet Caroline’ was played out over the sound system, with Shaw and Mount banging the table in time to the beat on Saturday.
As the pre-chorus started, a topless Walker, holding his shirt in one hand, came over to the table with his arms outstretched, encouraging his team-mates to sing along.
Mount then joined in, as Shaw laughed and Walker waved his shirt around his head. Mount and Walker sang the chorus joyously while Rice filmed the singing on his phone.
Former Love Island contestant Josh Denzel, who was the main presenter of the daily Three Lions show that was run by the official England media team throughout the tournament, gained a friendly rapport with several players while interviewing them during the tournament and he was also at the table filming.
‘Sweet Caroline’ became the unofficial anthem of Euro 2020 – and the soundtrack to England’s summer – when Gareth Southgate’s players went over to the fans and belted out the song inside Wembley Stadium after beating Denmark in the semi-final.
Sportsmail reported on Friday that several other Three Lions players had jetted off to Mykonos on a lads’ holiday to cure their Euro heartache, with Jack Grealish, Kalvin Phillips, Ben Chilwell and Ben White also travelling there.
