They will take on Ruslan Rotan's side on Thursday, March 23, with forward Romeo expected to feature, before Gareth Southgate's Three Lions take on Ukraine three days later.

Romeo previously played for Inter Miami's development side, Inter Miami II, where he's built his experience in the MLS Next Pro.

Having led the the league's assist charts last term with ten assists and two goals to his name, Inter Miami II finished sixth in the Eastern Conference.

The 20-year-old decided to swap Miami for west London in January, with his father, David, posting on Instagram: "Exciting start to the year [heart emoji]. Now the hard work and fun begins. Proud of you mate @romeobeckham."

Having joined the Young Bees on a deal running until the end of the season, Beckham Jnr recently netted a stoppage-time winner against Wealdstone in the Middlesex Senior Cup quarter-finals.

Manchester United legend David turns out to watch his son on a regular basis.

The 47-year-old watched Romeo make his debut against ninth-tier side Erith and Belvedere, before being mobbed by fans.

He was also present as his son featured in a 3-2 victory over Aston Villa earlier in the campaign.

It is understood Ukraine decided to set-up their training camp in London due to several stars plying their trade in the Premier League.

Arsenal star Oleksandr Zinchenko, Chelsea forward Mykhailo Mudryk, Everton full-back Vitaliy Mykolenko and Bournemouth's Illya Zabarnyi, have all been included in the squad to face England on March 26.
