Sam Allardyce has stated that he would start Callum Wilson over Harry Kane in England's final World Cup Group B clash against Wales. Despite the disappointment of drawing on Friday evening with the United States, Gareth Southgate's side are still in an excellent position to progress and they would only miss out on a place in the knockout round in unthinkable circumstances.
The Three Lions would have to lose by four goals against Wales at the Ahmed bin Ali Stadium, with Iran also needing to beat the United States for England to exit the competition. As Southgate's men look set to be in the Round of 16 unless a huge shock takes place later on Tuesday evening, many have called for the manager to rotate his starting XI.
Amid concerns over Kane after he sustained a knock to his foot in their opener against Iran, the striker, who has yet to score in the competition, has been a big talking point ahead of the Wales game. With Wilson and Manchester United's Marcus Rashford options to come in for him, Allardyce has admitted that he would plump for the in-form Newcastle striker over the England captain against Wales.
