Gareth Southgate’s England meet Rob Page’s Wales in their final group match in Qatar on November 29.

It is not yet known if Prince William plans to attend any games at the tournament.

But the FA have been given no indication he intends to give up his Wembley position in the short term meaning he should still have the role at the time of the crunch clash.

Southgate’s team are set to face the Azzurri once again on Friday when they travel to the San Siro to kick off another round of Nations League fixtures.
