Calf strapping spotted
Kane was spotted with strapping on his calf after Wednesday's 4-2 victory over Croatia, though the England captain played down any injury concern despite going down and clutching his leg late in the match, according to Alex Young of The Standard. "Physically, I am feeling good. The goals I have scored this year are the most I have ever had in my career, I feel I am at the peak of my powers at the right time."
Analysis: Kane played the full 90 minutes and scored twice, a penalty in the 12th minute and a header in the 42nd minute, moving level with the all-time England World Cup scoring record while showing no signs of being hampered by the strapping. The striker had suffered a calf injury late in the domestic season for Bayern Munich but returned before the campaign ended, and England will train Thursday at their Kansas City base as they prepare for their next group stage fixture against Ghana on June 23.
Brace in opener
Kane recorded two goals on seven shots in Wednesday's 4-2 win over Croatia.
Analysis: Kane was on a great run of play Wednesday as he helped England to a crucial group stage win, not only scoring once but twice. He would open the scoring in the 12th minute from the penalty, having his first attempt saved before a retake was called for, then adding another goal in the 42nd minute via a header. However, this was not all, as the forward appeared to be all over the field, adding a few crucial blocks and interventions in the defense while adding two chances created in the playmaking department. He is now tied for the all-time England World Cup scoring record, likely to have it all to himself by the end of the tournament.
