Mason Mount has revealed the ­England players have set-up a WhatsApp group to help ease club rivalries in the camp.

England ended a tough week with a ruthless 4-0 win in Kosovo yesterday to guarantee a top seeding for Euro 2020 and finish the qualifying campaign on a high.

Raheem Sterling returned to the ­starting line-up after being dropped for Thursday’s 7-0 win over Montenegro for angrily confronting Joe Gomez last week in the wake of Manchester City’s damaging defeat to Liverpool the day before the England squad convened at St George’s Park.

England’s “Golden Generation” of the new millennium have admitted to being torn apart by intense club rivalries and the Sterling-Gomez bust-up sparked concerns that the same issues could derail Gareth Southgate’s young squad.

But Mount, who opened his England account with the fourth goal in Pristina, insists the squad is “like a family” and says the players will remain in constant contact before the return of international football in March.

“We go back to our clubs and we’re all going to be playing against each other, but we have a WhatsApp group, so we’re always talking to each other,” said Mount. “It shows how close we are. It’s like a family. We always keep in contact.

“You obviously see what everyone else is doing within the Premier League at their clubs. It’s going to get heated in club games because they’re massive games, but we’re very tight as a group — and that’s shown in the last two performances. Things get sorted out very quickly, like they did [last week], and then we focus on the games. It was very strong performances in both games.

“The two games have been very ­professional performances. To finish with a big win is good and now there’s a big break until the next camp. It’s been a great qualification, we’ve got some big wins under our belt. The focus is on March and hopefully it’s a very exciting summer.”

The hosts gave England the warmest of welcomes, with the stadium announcer thanking the country pre-match for its role in helping to liberate the country in 1999 and home supporters holding up England flags during the national anthem.

“It was brilliant for us to be around that atmosphere,” said Mount. “It was a top night, very refreshing.”
