Harry Kane trains with England despite ankle scan
The HinduEngland captain Harry Kane trained with the team on Wednesday ahead of its clash with the United States despite an ankle injury that required a scan, teammate Jordan Pickford said. Kane suffered a knock to his ankle after a tackle by Iran’s Morteza Pouraliganji early in the second half of England’s 6-2 opening win in Group B and was replaced later on. “Yeah I think he’s good, obviously a little but sore, but I think he’s fine, he was out on the grass with us,” goalkeeper Pickford told reporters at England’s training base. “It’s good because he’s our captain.” The possibility of Kane’s well-chronicled ankle injuries returning during a World Cup that has started in almost perfect fashion for England will be a worry for coach Gareth Southgate.
