England striker Kane doubtful for Wales friendly

Harry Kane will miss England's friendly due to an ankle injury from Bayern Munich play, with alternatives like Ollie Watkins expected to fill the striker role, coach Thomas Tuchel said.

  • On October 8, 2025, Thomas Tuchel confirmed Harry Kane will miss Thursday's friendly against Wales at Wembley Stadium, London.
  • The knock occurred late in Bayern Munich's 3-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt, and Kane did individual indoor work at St George's Park on Wednesday.
  • Kane is England's all-time scorer with 74 goals in 109 appearances and has 18 goals in 10 matches for Bayern this season.
  • Tuchel must now consider Ollie Watkins, Marcus Rashford, Jarrod Bowen or Anthony Gordon to lead the attack, while one of Jordan Henderson, John Stones or Declan Rice will captain England.
  • If fit, Kane could return for England's World Cup qualifier in Riga on Tuesday, October 14, where a win could secure qualification as England sit top of Group K.
