the mirror says it's being discussed

Breaking news: FIFA discussing possible switch of venue for England's match with Italy.

The two nations have been vocal about their desire not to play there, but it is believed to be television reasons that would see the European sides go from Manaus to Fortaleza, with Uruguay's game against Costa Rica taking its place.

i suppose would have to be decided fairly soon
