Gareth Southgate has called on England supporters to behave ahead of Tuesday’s Nations League meeting with Germany in Munich – admitting any pre-match issues always have a negative impact on his camp.
It is understood police have confiscated 880 passports of England fans ahead of the fixture, which comes hot on the heels of Saturday’s 1-0 defeat in Hungary. England have been given an allocation of 3,466 at the Allianz Arena, but it is expected some supporters will travel without tickets or will have purchased ones in home sections.
Inclement weather could curtail any major pre-match clashes, but there will be a police delegation dispatched to Munich to partner with local law-enforcement, with Football Association safety and security advisers also at the stadium and in the city. Not since September 2019 has a full England allocation travelled to an away game and there are currently 1,122 banning orders in place.
