Will Harry Kane Play Tonight for England Against Wales?

England's all-time highest goalscorer and captain, Harry Kane, is all set to miss out on the next international friendly clash against Wales. Kane scored in Bayern Munich's last game against Eintracht Frankfurt before struggling with a knock to his ankle. As per reports, Kane is not training with England and will most likely miss the next friendly clash against Wales. Harry Kane injury will be a big blow for Thomas Tuchel ahead of the FIFA World Cup qualifier fixture against Latvia next. As things stand, there are reports that Brentford's Jordan Henderson might be handed the captain's armband in Kane's absence, apart from other contenders like Declan Rice. The former Chelsea gaffer is hopeful for Kane to return before the Latvia game next week. In this article, we find out the possible replacement for Kane in the next game against Wales.

Will it be Rashford or Bowen replacing Kane upfront?

England's star-studded attacking lineup will feature some big names despite the exclusion of players like Jude Bellingham, Jack Grealish, and Phil Foden. Marcus Rashford has been in fine form with FC Barcelona and even scored a brace against Newcastle United to help Barca win their maiden UCL clash this season. Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins has always emerged as the clutch player for England and scored that famous winner against Holland in the Euro 2024 semi-finals. Harry Kane injury has opened the doors for Jarrod Bowen and Anthony Gordon, who remain among the top contenders to replace Harry Kane.

England are almost a win away from making it to FIFA World Cup 2026

The Three Lions had a managerial overhaul after Gareth Southgate made way for Thomas Tuchel. Under the former Champions League-winning gaffer, the England national team managed to win all of their clash against Albania, Serbia, Latvia, and Andorra. They have put one leg already in the USA, and a win in their next game against Latvia will almost confirm their spot in the FIFA World Cup 2026.

The Wales friendly clash will offer Thomas Tuchel the flexibility and leisure of testing his bench strength and giving opportunities to other striking options like Bowen, Watkins, and Rashford to make an impact.
