Harry Kane sends message after England World Cup win and ankle injury scare vs Iran

England got off to the best possible start in their World Cup campaign beating Iran 6-2, but Gareth Southgate could be faced with some bad news with captain Harry Kane possibly suffering an ankle injury in the second half of the victory.

The Spurs striker won a free kick on the edge of the box early in the second half after he was fouled by an Morteza Pouraliganji who appeared to trap Kane's right ankle rolling over after being caught between the Iran players outstretched leg and the turf.

Kane, who has had a history of ankle problems, received treatment but was able to carry on before being replaced by Callum Wilson 15 minutes from time.
