England could be heading stateside for an end-of-season friendly, with the Football Association mulling over a high-profile match next June, according to reports. The potential clash could see the Three Lions face off against former and boss , although final details are yet to be confirmed.
The game, which could take place between June 2 and 10 during the international window, may even mark one of the first outings for England's new permanent manager. With the World Cup set to be hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico, this friendly would serve as excellent preparation for England.
However, it could also pose a scheduling issue for clubs hoping for their players to enjoy a summer break and reduce travel. Chelsea and Manchester City are also due to participate in next summer's Club World Cup in the United States.
A potential friendly with England would undoubtedly attract the United States, given the allure of big-name Premier League stars. The international calendar for next year is complex, with the World Cup draw not taking place until Friday, December 13, in Geneva.
Depending on the size of their qualifying Groups, England may have the opportunity to schedule a high-profile friendly next June.
England's involvement in Nations League play-off games is still on the cards, with another international window scheduled from March 17 to 25 for either World Cup qualifiers or Nations League fixtures. No decision has been made yet regarding a US friendly, but it's a strong possibility and the FA are likely to be open to the idea, reports .
