Sam, 32, was spotted smiling as he looked over at Louis, 33, as they got to work on the pitch.
Standing close by the lads appeared to exchanged a few words as they donned their kit for the first time.
The pair both on the same England team and were in good spirits as they arrived at Old Trafford in Manchester.
Louis, who has been dating Zara since April, had a huge grin on his face as he made his way to the football ground.

Wearing a bottle green coloured jacket, he smiled at photographers who were ready and waiting to snap this year’s celebrities.
Last week, Sam – who split with Zara after five years in December – completed a gruelling 260-mile endurance challenge for Soccer Aid.
The former Made In Chelsea star ran and cycled from Stamford Bridge in London to Old Trafford to deliver the Soccer Aid football.
Despite suffering from a torn calf during his gruelling journey, Sam is still expected to join Louis and the rest of the England squad on the pitch on Sunday.
Last month, Sam was left squirming as he was grilled about playing football with Louis by his best mate, Pete Wicks.
Speaking on their podcast Staying Relevant, Pete said: “How are you feeling? You’re playing again. Must be really exciting.”
He then added with a grin: “How do you feel about the line-up? Do you think you’ve got a strong team?”
Sam awkwardly laughed and replied: “Got a really strong team.”
Not giving up, Pete pressed further: “Any kind of people in there who you’re looking forward to playing with?”
Still dodging the real question, Sam joked: “Loads. Tom Grennan. I’m really looking forward to playing alongside Wayne Rooney.
“Tyson Fury’s the manager. I can’t wait.”
Sensing the tension, Pete smirked and said about boxer Tyson: “I mean, that’s going to be f***ing amazing.
“Make sure you get him on side, though, because you may need him in your corner in case you fall out with anyone.
“Not that you will, but just in case there’s any rivalries or anything.”
Pete added pointedly: “You know, you have to train together and it’s a lot, you know, when you’re kind of in close quarters with someone like that. All sorts gets brought up. Anyway…”
Despite his obvious heartbreak over his split with former Love Island star Zara, Sam has reportedly said there are “no hard feelings” between him and singer Louis.
A source previously told the Mail: “Sam has no hard feelings towards Louis, that’s for sure.
“As far as he’s concerned, Louis is Zara’s new man and he’s just got to accept it.”
The source insisted Sam was refusing to “wallow in self pity”.
