FA hopeful some fans could be at England's Wembley games in October

The Football Association is hopeful that some fans could be allowed into Wembley for three England games in October.

The Three Lions play Wales in a friendly that month, as well as two Nations League games against Belgium and Denmark.

FA chief executive Mark Bullingham has said he is keen to work with the government to allow some supporters into the national stadium for those fixtures.

UEFA said on Wednesday that international games next month will go ahead as planned, but these matches will be played behind closed doors because of the coronavirus pandemic.

England play away fixtures against Iceland and Denmark in September.

"We'd love to get fans back in the stadia for all three matches in October," Mr Bullingham said.

"UEFA have made the decision not to have any back in September for any games.

"In October I think it will be a different set of circumstances to be discussed."

He added: "To what level, we have obviously got to work out with both UEFA and the government.

"We are not talking about full stadia but we are talking about having some level of crowds back in October as our goal."

A number of games have been played behind closed doors at Wembley during the COVID-19 outbreak, including the FA Cup final between Arsenal and Chelsea, and the Championship play-off final between Fulham and Brentford.
