  The Three Lions won't get access to Wembley for their next two home matches due to a run of concerts by Coldplay. As a result, the team will play their international friendly against Senegal on June 10 at Nottingham Forest's City Ground and then take on Andorra at Villa Park.

  Tuchel's men will be back at the home of football on October 9 when they host rivals Wales in an international friendly.
