Harry Kane will always want to start for England. Harry Kane also wants to break Wayne Rooney’s goalscoring record (which he will). He would love that to happen at the World Cup.

But Harry Kane also has an ankle which balloons in size to protect its damaged ligaments after around 15 minutes of hard running. As such, this isn’t a decision for Kane. It is time for Gareth Southgate to step in and tell him he is not playing.

England didn’t come here to qualify for the last 16. Their goal is to win the World Cup. And they have no chance of doing that if they don’t have a fit Kane.
