Italian Embassy in London warned travelling English fans that they would not be allowed into the Stadio Olimpico in Rome Italy, when Ukraine entertains England in the last Uefa Euro 2020 quarter-final. The game will be played on Saturday, July 3 at 10 pm.
The measures were placed in line with Italy's Coronavirus restrictions. Italy is on the UK's amber travel list, and all UK arrivals in Italy currently have to isolate for five days.
This means Ukraine will enjoy their fans' support and England will turn to their bench, coaches and their fans who will travel from Italy and other countries.
However, England are the favourites in this match having lost to Ukraine only once in seven outings. The Three Lions (England) also trounced underpar Germany 2-0 at Wembley in the round of 16.
Andrey Shevchenko-coached Ukraine beat Sweden 2-1. England under Gareth Southgate appeared to have finally clicked with Raheem Sterling continuing his impressive goal scoring form (3 goals in 4 matches), captain Harry Kane also scored a goal in their match against Germany.
