Harry Kane is confident of being able to join up with Lee Carsley’s England squad for UEFA Nations League duty next week.
Carsley announces his second squad as interim boss on October 3, ahead of hosting Greece at Wembley Stadium on October 10, and a clash with Finland in Helsinki three days later.
Ahead of the announcement, Carsley has checked in on Kane, after he was forced off in the final minutes of Bayern Munich’s 1-1 weekend Bundesliga draw with Bayer Leverkusen.
