England "behind closed doors" Nations League matches to have crowd in attendance

England are playing two games behind closed doors - but both will have fans in attendance.

UEFA rules do permit national associations to give out tickets to kids who are 14 and under and between 2,000 and 3,000 are expected at Molineux when England play Italy on June 11. There is still no official confirmation on the figures but the 65,000 capacity Puskas Arena in Budapest could be largely full of school children when Hungary play England on June 4.

The hosts are under a stadium ban as punishment for discriminatory behaviour in the Euros but the ground will not be empty. It will mean that, despite a stadium ban, there will be some noise and atmosphere - especially in Budapest if there are tens of thousands of kids in attendance.
