England are optimistic on Harry Kane's fitness ahead of the World Cup showdown with United States on Friday.
Tottenham striker Kane went for a scan yesterday on an ankle injury suffered against Iran to give England a major fitness scare. But it is understood that it was more of a precaution and Kane - despite a history of ankle problems - is confident he will be fit.
The 29-year-old went down gripping his right foot in pain after being caught by a poor Morteza Pouraliganji challenge shortly after half-time in Monday’s 6-2 Group B win against Iran. Kane played on until the 75th minute but was seen leaving England’s World Cup with a slight limp and his right ankle lightly strapped.
