Gareth Southgate has played down any concerns over Harry Kane's fitness after the England captain appeared to be in pain following a heavy tackle during his side's win over Iran.
Kane stayed down clutching his ankle after Morteza Pouraliganji brought him down from behind five minutes into the second-half. But the Three Lions skipper continued for 25 more minutes before being replaced by Callum Wilson.
While some were concerned that Kane was taken off as a result of his injury, Southgate insisted it played no part in his decision to substitute him. Instead, he confirmed Kane was OK, news that will be a relief ahead of England's next game against the United States on Friday.
