The Carabao Cup final between Manchester City and Tottenham next month is set to be used as a test event for the return of fans and a tribute to the NHS following talks between the EFL and the Government.
Sportsmail has learned that under the latest proposal, a maximum crowd of around 8,000 could be admitted to Wembley, with the majority of tickets to be given away to NHS staff and local residents.
City and Tottenham would also receive a small allocation of tickets for their own fans of no more than one quarter of the overall attendance, which has yet to be agreed.
