Dutch referee Danny Makkelie will take charge of England’s Euro semi-final clash with Denmark on Wednesday night.
Makkelie, 38, was praised for his handling of the Three Lions’ 2-0 victory over Germany in the last-16 – and will be back at Wembley as Gareth Southgate’s men look to reach the final.
It is unusual for an official to be appointed for two games involving the same country.
Meanwhile, Danish football fans will not be able to head to London to cheer on their team when it plays England on Wednesday in the Euro 2020 tournament due to travel restrictions imposed by the UK to curb the spread of the coronavirus.

Danes entering England must isolate for 10 days but can pay for a COVID-19 test on day 5 which would end the quarantine if negative. But as the semi-final is on Wednesday, it will not be possible for them to leave isolation in time.
“We are extremely sad and it is hard to understand. We have tried everything we could to find a solution. The Danish fans have been a cornerstone in the (Danish) success at the Euros,” said the Danish football association’s fan service on its web page.
