All three EFL play-off finals are due to be played at Wembley but there may be a late twist after a claim was made concerning a possible change of date or location.

The Press Association says all three matches could be rearranged to different dates or venues given the uncertainty surrounding the all-English Champions League final.

Manchester City and Chelsea are set to meet on Saturday, May 29 with the game scheduled to be played in Istanbul.

That means travellers to the country are required to quarantine at a government-approved facility for 10 days upon their return, and has led to calls for the game to be played in England with Wembley a possible venue.

According to PA, there hasn’t been an approach from UEFA yet and the governing body is continuing with preparations for the Champions League tie to be played at the Ataturk Stadium as planned.
