Gareth Southgate has revealed that he held Jordan Henderson back for England’s game against Italy after the Liverpool captain was unable to train properly.
Harry Kane became England's all-time record goalscorer as his side beat Roberto Mancini's side 2-1 in their first Euro 2024 qualifier in Naples on Thursday night. It was the first time Southgate’s side had played since their World Cup exit at the hands of France.
West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice opened the scoring from close range after Kane's shot was blocked in the 13th minute. England were then awarded a penalty after Kane's back post header was deemed to have been handled and the Tottenham Hotspur man made no mistake from 12-yards.
