Harry Kane a doubt for England friendly | OneFootball

The captain of the England National Team, Harry Kane, might miss the friendly match on Thursday against Wales, after being unable to participate in Wednesday's training. The Bayern Munich forward joined the English squad even after suffering an ankle problem during the victory over Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday.

Recovery and Precaution

After the match for Bayern, Kane stated:

However, the 32-year-old player, England's all-time top scorer with 74 goals, was spared from training at St George’s Park, along with defender Jarell Quansah from Bayer Leverkusen, who is still seeking his first call-up.

The Football Association (FA) informed that both were following specific recovery routines while the other 22 players trained normally.

Good Numbers at Bayern

Before the international break, Kane had scored against Frankfurt, reaching 18 goals in just 10 matches this season for Bayern Munich, a performance that reinforces his importance both at the club and in the national team.

Possible Replacements

If the captain cannot play, names like Ollie Watkins, Marcus Rashford, Jarrod Bowen, and Anthony Gordon appear as options for the attack.

The team led by Thomas Tuchel faces Wales at Wembley, with tickets sold out, before turning their attention to the World Cup Qualifier against Latvia on Tuesday.

England Close to Qualification

England leads Group K with a seven-point advantage over Albania, in second place, and is close to securing a spot in the 2026 World Cup, which will be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
