England captain Harry Kane looks set to play a part in Friday's clash with the USA despite suffering an injury scare in the 6-2 win over Iran. The Tottenham striker took a knock to the ankle before being replaced by Newcastle United's Callum Wilson in the second-half of the World Cup opener for the Three Lions.
Kane was due to undergo a scan on Wednesday as England chiefs worried over a potential Qatar setback. However, the forward looks to have escaped relatively unscathed and England are now hopeful he will be in action later this week.
“I think he is good, probably just a little bit sore,” England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford told the media on Wednesday. “I’m sure he is fine, he was out on the grass with us today which is good. He is our captain.”
