There will be a heightened security presence at Wembley for England's Euro Qualifier with Italy on Tuesday, Sky Sports News has been told, after two Swedish nationals were killed in Brussels. The fatal shootings on Monday evening caused Belgium's Euro 2024 Qualifier against Sweden to be abandoned at half-time. Both sets of fans were kept in the stadium as armed officers searched for the attacker.
Superintendent Gerry Parker, the match commander for England's game against Italy, said: 'We have been working with our partners, including the FA, in the weeks leading up to this match to ensure those attending the Wembley area enjoy this match. 'Our officers are experienced in dealing with large-scale public order events, and a flexible plan is in place to reduce the likelihood of crime and disorder, and provide a timely response to any emerging incidents.
