Gareth Southgate, coach of England, announced Thursday that his captain Harry Kane, is in position to face the United States this Friday on day 2 of group B of the World Cup in Qatar. A scan showed that Kane had recovered from his right ankle problems.
A nasty tackle on Harry Kane in Monday’s 6-2 win over Iran raised alarm bells for the England team. But tests have made it clear that the Tottenham and England striker is doing well. Jordan Pickford, the ‘pross’ goalkeeper, said it on Wednesday and Gareth Southgate confirmed it on Thursday.
Although he did not score against Iran, Harry Kane participated in most of England’s actions, pivoted, was always a reference for his teammates and did almost everything well.
“The problem was more with the foot than the ankle. A bad tackle, fortunately it came out well. Harry (Kane) was good. It’s true. He worked separately from the group, but he’s fine for Friday. We did him a scan on Wednesday to make sure everything was okay,” Gareth Southgate told the BBC.
For his part, Manchester United and England defender Harry Maguire, who withdrew against Iran after feeling unwell, was much better and it was ruled that he had a concussion. “He’s feeling bad and it’s affecting his vision. We were worried he had a concussion, but we went through the whole game and didn’t see anything,” Southgate said.
The England coach is currently only a doubt over James Maddison, who has not been able to train with the group in Qatar due to a knee injury, while Kyle Walker, who missed the first match, will make the squad. summons against the United States.
