England’s Nations League clash with Iceland could be held in ALBANIA

England are facing the extraordinary prospect of playing their ‘home’ match against Iceland next week in Albania — a move which is set to spark another club-v-country row.

As MailOnline revealed on Monday, the FA have been informed that the Eastern European country is a serious contender to host the Nations League group match, scheduled for a week on Wednesday.

The FA, who are desperate to keep the match at Wembley, held urgent talks with Government officials on Monday to ascertain whether the game can be played in London despite new Covid restrictions. They are hoping Whitehall backs down in the next 24 hours.
