Harry Kane Ruled Out of England’s Wales Friendly With Ankle Knock

Thomas Tuchel says resting the Bayern striker gives him the best chance to face Latvia in next week's World Cup qualifier.

Overview

  • England’s FA said Kane missed Wednesday morning training and completed an individual program instead.
  • Kane took the knock during Bayern’s win at Eintracht Frankfurt after contact with goalkeeper Kaua Santos, with Sky Sports reporting it as an ankle injury.
  • Tuchel described playing the forward as too painful and too risky, noting he struggled even to strike the ball.
  • The coaching staff will monitor his recovery over the coming days ahead of Tuesday’s qualifier in Latvia.
  • Kane has started the season in prolific form for Bayern with 18 goals and three assists in ten competitive matches.
