"He got a kick in his last match with Bayern Munich," said England coach Thomas Tuchel on Wednesday evening.

“It was too risky he gets another kick and be in an up and down situation pain-wise. We gave him the chance that everything calms down."

Kane is expected to make his return when England continue their World Cup qualifying campaign against Latvia on Tuesday.

“We are convinced he'll be ready for the match against Latvia,” said Tuchel.
