Fifa has banned Scotland and England from wearing the poppy on their strips at the upcoming match at Wembley.

The Football Association is in discussions with Fifa over allowing players to show support for the Royal British Legion's poppy appeal.

Gareth Southgate's side host their neighbours at Wembley on Armistice Day in a World Cup qualifier.

Fifa has banned the two teams from displaying poppies on their shirts during the game as political statements are not allowed.

In 2011, FIFA eventually backed down after threatening to ban the England team from wearing poppies in a friendly against Spain, allowing them to display the symbol on black armbands.

The FA said in a statement: "The Football Association is working with the Royal British Legion once again this year to remember the sacrifice made by those serving in the armed forces.

"In recent weeks the FA has led remembrance discussions with FIFA to allow the England team to show its support for the poppy appeal during the World Cup qualifier with Scotland."
