England face Spain in tonight's Euros final, with one of the players getting a final good luck message from his old primary school.

Jarrod Bowen attended Leominster Primary School when he was growing up, and started his footballing career at Leominster Minors before playing for Hereford United.

He was involved from the bench in England's first two opening games at the tournament, but hasn't got on the pitch since.

Headteacher Helen Rees says pupils will all be watching the game later closely to see how they get on.

"The school are really proud of both Jarrod and England for reaching the final," she said.

"All pupils wore red and white on Friday, and are very excited about today.

"A lot of children wore Jarrod tops, and for many reasons he is our favourite player in the team.

"I'm sure the children will be looking out to see if he does get on the pitch, when he has played he hasn't let his town or his country down, and we're all hoping for an England win."

Kick-off is at 8pm.
