Fans prepare to honour football legend Cruyff at Wembley

A special tribute will be paid to Dutch legend Johan Cruyff at tonight’s international friendly at Wembley between England and the Netherlands. The former Barcelona and Ajax star died last week at the age of 68 following a battle with cancer. A minute of applause will start on the 14 minute mark, to honour his famous shirt number. In team news, James Milner will captain England and Daniel Sturridge looks set to start up front as Roy Hodgson looks at his options ahead of Euro 2016. Keeper Jack Butland will miss the games and is unlikely to be fit for the tournament in France after he fractured his ankle during the win over Germany at the weekend.
