Police will confiscate the passports of 880 England fans before the Nations League tie against Germany in Munich on 7 June as part of an extensive security operation. The fixture comes the day after the D-day anniversary and the authorities will take no chances with regard to potential trouble.

The Football Association has been given 3,466 seats at the Allianz Arena, having fielded interest from more than 6,000 fans, and is hopeful that, with the game on a Tuesday night, not too many will travel without tickets.
