Thomas Tuchel suffers injury blow to key player on eve of England’s clash against Wales

Wait 5 sec.

Harry Kane is a major doubt for England’s Thursday night showdown against Wales, talkSPORT understands. The Three Lions meet their neighbours in a friendly at Wembley, live on talkSPORT, but are expected to be without their captain for the match. Kane sustained a knock during Bayern Munich’s win at Eintracht Frankfurt last weekendGettyBayern Munich forward Kane sat out training at St George’s Park on Wednesday and England manager Thomas Tuchel is set to confirm the player’s absence later in the day. Kane sustained a knock to his foot during Bayern’s last outing and was substituted before the end of the game.However, he moved quickly to assure fans that he’d still be able to report for England duty.Asked about the injury after the game, he said: “I’m okay. It was a contact to the bone.“I had it a few weeks ago, and it was in the same spot today. A few days and it’ll be fine.”When asked if he will be fit enough for the England games, he replied: “Yes, I’ll be there on Monday.”It remains to be seen whether Kane will be out of England’s World Cup qualifier against Latvia on Tuesday night, live on talkSPORT.England’s all-time top goalscorer is chasing a record during this international break too. Should Kane score twice, he’ll overtake Gary Lineker for the most England goals while playing for a non-England club. Lineker scored 17 goals for his country while he was at Barcelona, with Kane on 16 England goals since moving to the German giants in the summer of 2023. Breaking news. More follows…
