Lowest Wembley gate expected for England v Norway clash

Football Association officials are braced for England's lowest attendance since Wembley was rebuilt in 2007 when they face Norway in a friendly on 3 September. With just two weeks to go until the team's first match since their poor showing at this summer's World Cup in Brazil, only 17,000 tickets have been sold - although this figure is expected to be boosted by a potential 17,000 more Club Wembley ticket-holders.

The crowd could be smaller than the 48,876 who watched the friendly against Sweden in 2011.
