England’s Euro 2020 preparations are set to be disrupted by the coronavirus outbreak, with the FA increasingly resigned to cancelling the friendly against Italy at Wembley on March 27.
England players have been told there is a possibility the game will be called off, and Wembley security staff have been informed their services may not be required.
The FA are waiting for advice from the government — and will not take a unilateral decision to postpone the match — but there is a sense among officials at Wembley that it will not take place.
