England vs Iran will continue to be in the second slot the next day. And Senegal vs Holland will become the third match in the evening. There will be no morning game.

The decision is still yet to be formally adopted and agreed to by the Bureau of the Council, which is comprised of the six confederation presidents plus head Gianni Infantino.
