England striker Harry Kane will not feature in the upcoming match against Belgium as he continues his recovery from an ankle injury. Gareth Southgate confirmed that Kane will be returning to Bayern Munich for treatment.
Kane sustained the injury during Bayern's recent victory over Darmstadt and joined the England squad for the friendly against Brazil despite the setback. However, he was unable to play and will now focus on regaining full fitness with his club in Germany.
Bayern Munich is set to face Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga and has a Champions League quarterfinal match against Arsenal on the horizon. Kane's absence from the England squad was felt in their recent defeat to Brazil, where 17-year-old Endrick scored the winning goal.
Southgate acknowledged the young player's talent and expressed disappointment at the loss but praised the individual performances of his team. Despite the defeat, Southgate highlighted the positives and emphasized the competitive nature of international football.
With only three more games before the European Championship, England will be looking to regroup and strengthen their squad. Southgate remains optimistic about the team's prospects and believes they have the quality to compete at the highest level.
