Gareth Southgate says it would be “hugely unfortunate” if Harry Kane was to break the England goalscoring record in a match where supporters were banned. The England captain scored his 49th international goal on Saturday to give the team a 2-1 Wembley win against Switzerland and the only question now seems to be when he will overhaul Wayne Rooney’s total of 53.
Southgate suggested he was preparing to omit Kane from the starting lineup against Ivory Coast on Tuesday night and following that match England must play two of their four Nations League ties in June behind closed doors.
