Denmark lined up for England friendly

England will host Denmark in March next year as preparations for Euro 2020 begin to take shape.

The Danes edged the Republic of Ireland in qualifying for the continent-wide tournament and will visit Wembley on March 31 in the second of two friendlies at the national stadium.

The first match, against yet-to-be-confirmed opponents, will take place four days earlier in a match dedicated to the Heads Up mental health campaign fronted by the Duke of Cambridge.

The Football Association has also announced that one further away game will be staged.

England finished their Group A qualifying campaign on a high over the past week, running in 11 unanswered goals against Montenegro and Kosovo to finish of 27 points from eight games with a positive goal difference of 31.

That guaranteed them three group matches at Wembley during the finals, which are being hosted by 12 different European cities.

The group draw will take place in Bucharest on November 30.
