Martin Atkinson will remain the referee for Hungary v Portugal on Wednesday night despite the Group F match having a say in who England play next at Euro 2016.

The team which finishes in second place in Group F will play England in the last 16 next Monday.

As it stands, all four teams in the group - Portugal, Hungary, Iceland and Austria - could finish runners-up.

Atkinson and his England colleagues had always been due to officiate the game in Lyon.
