And it is a campaign that Harry Kane will never forget as his strike against bitter rivals Italy saw him become England’s all-time record goalscorer.

But the English skipper’s chances of adding to his tally are in jeopardy after Thomas Tuchel confirmed that Kane twisted his ankle during Bayern Munich’s 5-2 win over Darmstadt.

This would also see Gareth Southgate being forced to wait a little longer before seeing his preferred starting eleven ahead of the upcoming Euros.

However, given Brazil‘s recent form – losing their last three consecutive games – the England gaffer should feel that he has enough to get through this test without Kane.

England’s mouthwatering match against Brazil will take place on Saturday, March 23.
