Is Harry Kane fit for England's UEFA Nations League games? Injury update on Three Lions captain image

Harry Kane is confident of being able to feature for Lee Carsley's England in UEFA Nations League duty this week.

Carsley named Kane in his squad, ahead of hosting Greece at Wembley Stadium on October 10, followed by a clash with Finland in Helsinki three days later.

The latest concern on Kane comes after he was forced off in the final minutes of Bayern Munich's 3-3 weekend Bundesliga draw with Eintracht Frankfurt.

Kane has joined up with the squad at St. George's Park, but Bayern Munich have confirmed they are awaiting 'a more precise diagnosis' from the Three Lions medical staff.

Carsley will await a more detailed update before deciding on his plan for the 31-year-old.

Harry Kane's England stats, goals, trophies

Carsley kicked off his tenure in charge of the senior team with wins of the Republic of Ireland and Finland as Kane scored twice in the latter game at Wembley.

That double marked a special night for Kane, as he picked up his 100th international cap, and brought his England goal tally to 68.

Kane is well clear as England's leading goal scorer in men's international action with second place Wayne Rooney on 53.

His 100 international appearances place him 10th on the all-time Three Lions list with Peter Shilton No.1 on 125 caps.

England's next games

England face two games in October and two more in November as part of the six-match Nations League series as they look to gain promotion from League B back into League A.

Below are the Three Lions remaining fixtures in 2024:

  • Greece (H) - October, 10
  • Finland (A) - October 13
  • Greece (A) - November 14
  • Republic of Ireland (H) - November 17
