Harry Kane injury update as England optimistic after sending striker for scan

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.
