England will host Denmark in March as part of their preparations for Euro 2020.

The Danes will visit Wembley on March 31 in the second of two friendlies at the national stadium.

The first match, against opponents which have yet to be confirmed, will take place four days earlier in a match dedicated to the Heads Up mental health campaign fronted by the Duke of Cambridge.

Denmark edged past the Republic of Ireland to clinch automatic qualification at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin on Monday night.

The group draw will take place in Bucharest on November 30.
