  WHAT HAPPENED?

  There were suggestions that the 31-year-old frontman, who is captain of his country, may not link up with the Three Lions at all after being forced out of Bayern’s latest Bundesliga fixture. He was, however, cleared to leave Germany and head for St George’s Park.

• THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Kane was all smiles when joining up with Lee Carsley’s squad, but questions continue to be asked of how fit he is. England have already lost Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, Nottingham Forest playmaker Morgan Gibbs-White and Aston Villa defender Ezri Konsa to injuries – with said trio all being forced to withdraw.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  Kane – who became an international centurion when earning his 100th cap back in September – remains part of the fold for now, but only 21 players took part in training on Tuesday. It has been revealed that England’s skipper was left “working indoors on an individual programme”.

• WHAT NEXT FOR ENGLAND?

  Carsley has opted against drafting any replacements into his squad, as the Three Lions prepare to face Greece at Wembley Stadium on Thursday. They will travel to Helsinki for a meeting with Finland three days later, as England endeavour to preserve their 100 per cent record in Nations League Group B2.
