England will play Romania in a friendly at Villa Park on June 7 as their last warm-up match ahead of the 2020 European Championships.

The game will be played just a week before the Three Lions kick-off their Euro 2020 campaign against Croatia at Wembley on June 14.

Villa Park becomes the latest ground to host an England match after Gareth Southgate's men played at Southampton's St Mary's Stadium and Leicester's King Power Stadium in 2019.

England's next two fixtures come at Wembley with matches against Italy and Denmark on March 27 and March 31 respectively.
