Follow live reaction from the draw for the third edition of the Nations League.
England have been drawn against Italy, Germany and Hungary in League A. Another meeting with the Italians will see a rematch of the final of Euro 2020 of course while the Germans are a side Gareth Southgate’s team beat en route to that Wembley showpiece last summer. The Three Lions were paired with Hungary in 2022 World Cup qualifying with the match in Budapest marred by racist abuse of England players from the stands,
Wales face a tough group, also in League A, having been pulled out of the hat with world number one Belgium, Louis van Gaal’s Netherlands and Robert Lewandowski’s Poland. Steve Clarke’s Scotland have been drawn alongside Republic of Ireland as well as Ukraine and Armenia in League B while over in League C, Northern Ireland will take on Greece, Kosovo and one of Cyprus or Estonia in their group.
