England manager Gareth Southgate has confirmed captain Harry Kane will miss Saturday evening’s friendly with Brazil at Wembley.

Kane has been struggling with an ankle injury, with Southgate admitting he is ‘extremely doubtful’ to feature in their second friendly against Belgium.

Jordan Henderson and Cole Palmer will also miss tomorrow’s high-profile friendly at Wembley against Brazil. 

‘Tomorrow, no Harry Kane, no Jordan Henderson and no Cole Palmer,’ Southgate said.

‘I would say Cole and Hendo have a better chance of Belgium than Harry.

‘He would be extremely doubtful for that.’
