Gareth Southgate provides update on Harry Kane’s involvement against the USA
England manager Gareth Southgate has provided an update on Harry Kane ahead of tomorrow’s match against the USA, claiming that ‘it would be a brave decision’ to leave out his captain for the second match of their World Cup campaign.
The Tottenham Hotspur forward picked up an ankle knock in his side’s 6-2 win over Iran on Monday and did not train on Tuesday which led to him undergoing a scan on his right ankle to assess any potential damage to the joint (Sky Sports).

Kane played on until the 75th minute but was seen leaving the stadium with a slight limp and his right ankle lightly strapped.
The scans came back clear allowing the 29-year-old to resume training with his team-mates with his recovery having been assisted by his personal physio Dr. Alejandro Elorriaga Claraco (Daily Mail).
Southgate said: “Harry is good. It would be a brave decision to leave him out of the starting line up.”

Tottenham fans will especially be breathing a sigh of relief after Kane escaped the type of injury that has previously plagued his career. Thankfully, the England captain is ready to resume his aim of securing a second Golden Boot and will be hoping to remain injury free ahead of his return to Tottenham when they face Brentford on Boxing Day.
