The president of FIFA is now flying to London from Brazil - which is on the international 'red list' due to severe Covid conditions.

Gianni Infantino had been in Rio de Janeiro watching Lionel Messi win his first major international title, as Argentina beat Brazil in the Copa America final.

Mr Infantino is now on his way to watch England play against Italy for the Euro 2020 final at Wembley, it is believed.

Brazil has the second highest COVID-19 death toll in the world, with only the United States reporting more fatalities.

But it was revealed last month that football VIPs would be permitted to visit Britain without having to quarantine as part of a deal to keep the Euro 2020 finals in England.
