MARTIN SAMUEL: Gareth Southgate's team have an identity and philosophy no matter who plays

Daily Mail  

There was a scare this week, around Harry Kane. Harry Kane underwent scans on his ankle ahead of England's clash with the USA on Friday Kane has been cleared to play but there was a lack of calamity over his potential absence It's just that, without him, we'll live. Gareth Southgate has managed to instill his own philosophy on the Three Lions squad Southgate's England could ride the challenge of a game without Kane. Callum Wilson would be the natural back-up to Kane should he get injured in Qatar 'Equally, what we've tried to do from the very start was not put all the onus on him as captain, whether that's media duties, or whatever else it might be, to spread the load, give people more responsibility. Southgate's side will take on the USA at the Al Bayt Stadium on Friday night in Group B It would be wrong and patronising to classify tonight's opponents as minnows anyway.
