Harry Kane faces anxious World Cup wait as England star set for scan on injured ankle

Harry Kane has given England a major scare after being sent for a scan on an ankle injury, with the skipper facing an anxious wait to see if he will be fit to face the United States in the Three Lions' next World Cup game.

Kane started his side's dominant 6-2 win over Iran in their opening match of the tournament in Qatar. But he appeared to pick up a problem with his ankle five minutes into the second-half after a tackle from behind by Morteza Pouraliganji.

The striker was able to carry on for 25 more minutes before being taken off for Newcastle United star Callum Wilson. England boss Gareth Southgate had played down the extent of Kane's injury in the aftermath of the win, though Kane was seen walking with a limp.
