"No agreement has been signed but we have been involved in discussions with the Hungarian FA with a view to playing them in one of our World Cup preparation games on May 30.

"We will confirm that once we are in a position to do so, and hope to announce our full programme prior to the World Cup by the end of the week.''

England will play three home internationals as part of the World Cup build-up, one on 1 March and then two shortly before flying out to Germany.

Following the draw in Leipzig, which pitted England against Paraguay, Trinidad & Tobago and Sweden, Head Coach Sven-Goran Eriksson stated his intention to play friendlies against one team each from Europe, South America and the Caribbean.
