The fixture will see record goalscorer Wayne Rooney return to the international fold to make one final appearance for the Three Lions.
The DC United forward will win his 120th cap tonight as a substitute against the USA, a move that has sparked widespread debate since it was announced.
But England boss Gareth Southgate has defended the decision to give the 33-year-old a proper farewell and insists it won’t affect his side’s preparations for Sunday’s Nations League clash with Croatia.
"I think it is fitting and having seen him in training, it won't change the quality of what we are trying to do, but we have to balance it with trying to get some of the younger players some time ahead of Sunday," Southgate said.
"It is very important to all of us that he gets the right sort of send off.
"There is enormous respect in this team for all ex-players, and they want to make it really positive for Wayne and his family."
