Harry Kane to miss match against Wales: player's injury reason.
According to The Sun: This evening, the England team will play without captain Harry Kane in a friendly match against Wales.
This meeting will take place at Wembley and has generated considerable interest among fans.
PAKane will miss the match due to an injury he sustained in the last match with his team Bayern Munich.
England's head coach Thomas Tuchel initially included Kane in the squad for the game against Wales and the subsequent World Cup qualifying match against Latvia on the 14th.
However, unfortunately, the striker will not be able to assist the team against Wales, and most likely will miss the match in Riga next week.
Why is Harry Kane not playing against Wales?
The reason for Kane's absence is an ankle injury he received in the last match for Bayern Munich.
At the press conference before the game, Tuchel noted that the risk of continuing to play with this injury is too high.
The coach emphasized: “Harry will miss the game. He took a hit in the last match, and there is a high risk that he will get another.”
“We gave him the chance to recover, and we hope he will be ready for the match against Latvia.”
Kane continued to train separately from the team yesterday due to an ankle injury.
Another player - central defender Jerrell Quansah from Bayer Leverkusen - was also training individually due to a minor injury.
Who will replace Harry Kane as England captain?
Tuchel confirmed that the captain for the match against Wales will be one of Jordan Henderson, John Stones or Declan Rice.
All three have experience serving as captain before.
Another participant in the match - Marcus Rashford - also has captaincy experience in the England team.
The Barcelona player, who transferred there from Manchester United, captained in the victorious match 1-0 against Romania in 2021 under Gareth Southgate's management.
This game promises to be interesting for both teams, considering that England is trying to strengthen its attacking line even in the absence of the star player. The upcoming meeting with Latvia is also important as the match result will affect World Cup qualifying. Fans hope for Kane's quick recovery, as he is a key player for the team.
