Report Claims FA Are Confident Wembley Pitch Will Improve Naturally Despite Visible Damage

The FA has claimed that the condition of the Wembley pitch will improve naturally without any intervention, after criticism of its state for Tottenham's clash with Barcelona and Cardiff.

Since Anthony Joshua's fight against Alexander Povetkin for the heavyweight title on September 22 at the stadium, there have been concerns regarding the appearance of the grass.

Tottenham are currently playing their home fixtures at Wembley due to the delay in the construction of their new stadium. However, in their most recent matches, there have been large patches of brown grass on display.

Whilst this has sparked fears that the turf might need large-scale repairs, as reported by the Daily Mail, the FA apparently remain confident that the condition of the pitch will improve naturally without intervention.
