Harry Kane Misses England Friendly Against Japan because of 'Minor Issue'
Harry Kane sits out England's warm-up against Japan due to a minor training issue, with Phil Foden starting as false nine and Marc Guehi captaining the side.
- On Tuesday, England captain Harry Kane was ruled out of the friendly against Japan at Wembley; head coach Thomas Tuchel left the Bayern Munich striker out of the squad as a precaution.
- Tuchel confirmed the 'minor issue' emerged 'out of nothing' after the 32-year-old forward suffered bruising during the final training session, remaining with the squad for further assessment.
- Phil Foden moved into a false nine position to impress, while Marc Guehi stepped in as captain, becoming the 129th player to wear the England armband.
- Jordan Henderson returned to Brentford, joining Arsenal trio Noni Madueke, Bukayo Saka, and Declan Rice on the list of players departing camp amid ten team changes.
- Tuchel expressed 'total belief' in England's readiness for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with only two friendlies remaining against New Zealand and Costa Rica before the tournament.
