Wembley will be around 25 per cent full for matches

Wembley will stage additional Euro 2021 last-16 match as a reward from Uefa to the Football Association for its part in stopping the proposed European Super League.
However, Dublin has been stripped of its matches after failing to meet the deadline for guaranteeing fans, as has Bilbao. Seville will replace Bilbao as a host city for the tournament, taking on three group stage matches and one last 16 match.
Telegraph Sport understands there is goodwill from Uefa towards the FA s chief executive, Mark Bullingham, for his efforts in opposing the league and rallying support from the Duke of Cambridge and the Prime Minister, that will result in Wembley having more games.

Juventus have been threatened with expulsion from Serie A by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC).
The record 36-time Italian champions could be kicked out of the domestic competition next season if the club continues to align itself with the breakaway European Super League tournament.
Juventus are one of three teams, alongside Real Madrid and Barcelona, who have not yet formally withdrawn from the controversial competition despite the other nine founding clubs having already done so.
The Bianconeri s continued involvement in the Super League could now have dire consequences for their domestic standing after FIGC president Gabriele Gravina confirmed that the club could be expelled next season.

With their nine-year reign in Serie A ended and club president Andrea Agnelli roundly criticised for his role in the aborted European Super League, Juventus now risk missing out on next season’s Champions League.
Juventus were knocked out of Italy’s top four last weekend following a 3-0 home defeat by AC Milan, leaving coach Andrea Pirlo’s position increasingly under threat entering the final three games.

Juventus have been warned they face expulsion from Serie A if they persist in their association with the European Super League.
Only last week the three remaining clubs – Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juve – defended their controversial plans in the face of what they called “threats” from UEFA.
The incident happened during a Serie B match on 22 December last year.
The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) announced the punishment on Thursday after the case was heard at the FIGC appeal court.
Marconi “addressed racist insults to Chievo midfielder Joel Obi during the Pisa-Chievo game on Dec.22,” an FIGC statement said.
Chievo said in a statement after the match, which ended in a 2-2 draw in Pisa, that the 29-year-old was “the object of an infamous and disgraceful phrase that has nothing to do with the most basic values of sport, ethics and respect.”
They said that Marconi used the phrase “the slave revolt” towards former Inter Milan and Torino midfielder Obi.
