Andorra v England: What has been said?
Harry Kane has the opportunity to surpass Wayne Rooney’s competitive goal scoring record for England during the international break.
And England manager Gareth Southgate reaffirmed his faith in Kane’s ability to deliver big game performances on the pitch after a tough start to the season with Spurs.
“Every couple of months I think I sit here and have to answer similar questions and then Harry goes out and scores a load of goals for us,” said Southgate.
“It’s the life of being a high-profile player. You’ve got to accept that there’s going to be that speculation and that intensity of analysis of your performances.
“Last month we had three games, he played in all three and scored a goal in each. From our perspective, he continues to be such a critical part of what we do and an important player, and I’m sure he’s going to be highly motivated when he comes to see us next week.
“He’s closing in on a number of incredible goal scorers. We obviously had the sad news about Jimmy Greaves in the last couple of weeks and you know how he is in those echelons of incredible names who have scored a lot of goals for England.”
