England’s National Team Receives Mixed News Ahead of Nations League Fixtures
Bayern Munich’s star forward, Harry Kane, has been given a clean bill of health after undergoing a medical examination by the Football Association’s staff on Monday. The 31-year-old striker was forced to exit the pitch in the second half of Bayern’s 3-3 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt over the weekend, sparking concerns about his availability for England’s upcoming Nations League matches.
However, Kane’s injury scare appears to be just that – a scare. According to Bayern Munich, the examination revealed no structural damage, and the prolific goal-scorer will remain with the national team for their fixtures against Greece and Finland.
On the other hand, England’s squad has been depleted by injuries to three players. Aston Villa defender Ezri Konsa suffered a hamstring injury during his team’s 0-0 draw with Manchester United on Sunday and will miss the Nations League games. Kobbie Mainoo, who recently returned from an injury concern, was substituted in the 85th minute of Manchester United’s match against Villa and will also be sidelined.
Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White picked up an injury during his team’s 1-1 draw with Chelsea on Sunday and joins Konsa and Mainoo on the injury list. The Football Association has confirmed that no further additions are planned to the squad at this time.
England will face Greece at Wembley Stadium on Thursday, followed by a match against Finland three days later.
