England captain Harry Kane and interim boss Lee Carsley are hoping to pay a fitting tribute to Sven-Goran Eriksson when Wembley remembers the former manager on Tuesday night.
The Nations League game against Finland is the first England home match since the Swede died aged 76 on August 26th after suffering from pancreatic cancer.
England players wore black armbands in Saturday’s 2-0 win away to the Republic of Ireland and will do so again at Wembley. There will be a period of applause ahead of kick-off on a night when the deaths of Craig Shakespeare, Kevin Campbell and Tommy Banks will also be acknowledged.
On Eriksson, who managed England between 2001 and 2006, Kane said: “I think one of our, I’d say, most famous, most popular managers we’ve had as a national team. “It will be a sad night for a lot of England fans and a lot of England players.
