Harry Kane trains indoors ahead of Nations League clash with Greece
- Harry Kane did not participate in the England squad's training session on Tuesday morning due to an ongoing recovery from an injury sustained during a match with Bayern Munich.
- Despite being passed fit by medical staff, he trained individually, raising concerns for interim boss Lee Carsley ahead of the Nations League match against Greece.
- Kane's absence could open the door for Dominic Solanke to make his return to the national team after a seven-year gap.
On October 8, 2024, in England, Harry Kane was absent from the national squad's training session as he continues to recover from an injury. The injury occurred during a recent match where he limped off, prompting concerns about his fitness for the upcoming Nations League double-header against Greece and Finland. Although Kane was assessed and deemed fit by the medical staff, he opted for an individualized training program instead of joining his teammates. Kane's situation is particularly concerning for interim manager Lee Carsley, who is preparing for crucial matches without the captain's presence. The England squad has already faced challenges with injuries, as three other players withdrew from the squad prior to training. Carsley has not called up replacements, which adds pressure on the remaining players to perform. The absence of Kane could provide an opportunity for Dominic Solanke, who has recently returned to the England setup after a long absence. His strong performance at Tottenham has made him a viable option for the squad, and if called upon, he would break a significant gap between international appearances. This situation highlights the depth of talent available to Carsley, despite the injury setbacks. As the team prepares for the Nations League matches, the focus will be on how they adapt to Kane's potential absence and whether Solanke can capitalize on this chance to contribute to the team's success.
