Multiple outlets, including The Chronicle and The Shields Gazette, are reporting that England striker Harry Kane is facing a scan on the ankle he injured in the 6-2 win over Iran on Monday.
The striker took a heavy challenge from Iran’s Morteza Pouraliganji but was able to soldier on. England boss Gareth Southgate ultimately withdrew the Spurs star in the 76th minute for Callum Wilson, who provided an assist for Jack Grealish in the 90th minute.
After the match, Southgate proclaimed Kane seemed fine saying:
“I think Harry’s fine. It looked like a bad tackle but he carried on in the game. We took him off because we felt it was a moment in the game we could do that.”
However, it has now emerged that he will undergo a scan to verify any damage to his ankle. If Kane needs a scan, that throws his availability for Friday’s bout with the United States into doubt.
Wilson along with Southgate’s starting eleven were rested for Tuesday’s training session. Reports revealed that Callum is on a different program due to his injury history.
If Kane misses out on Friday, Wilson could get the nod against the USA. Wilson made his debut, in which he scored, against the Americans in November of 2018.

Click on the player you want to sub off or make Captain and it shows options. As long as other player isn’t locked you’re ok.

Comment #16B1GSTEVE,
I subbed Saliba out as he didn’t play and put Alba in, however I think that would have auto-subbed anyway after the gameday.
The players must be locked as they call it. You should be able to change you Captain to a player that’s yet to play.

One of my brothers is a staunch Celtic fan and watches all the Scottish premier league games on tv, he was telling me every week he now understands why Newcastle sent Matty Longstaff out on loan and said he really is a poor player, so i started to watch a few Aberdeen games just to see how he was progressing, but from the games i watched he really did not impress, just my opinion but i think at best young Matty is a championship player.

Comment #21TFB, the rules say you can do manual substitutions after they have played.(like the EURO’s). All my players have been locked that have played, and even the ones that havent played have no sub or trandsfer option when I click on them. I know what to do I just don’t know how to do it??

Comment #22Bard..yeah, big shame about Wilko, he was a total one-off.
His playing sounded simple but the technique to do that was really tricky. Legend.

Comment #23Tfb,
If you transfer say Di Maria and Messi out for two Brazilians who play tomorrow, do you get the points for your new transfers and can you play the wild card once you’ve made transfers?

Comment #24Ok Lunch finished time to relax on the sofa and watch the Germany v Japan match, love to see another shock but i just can`t see it happening today and fully expect the methodical and proficent Germans to be involved at the business end of the world cup as usual.

Comment #25B1GSTEVE,
You just click on the player you want out and sub out and the player you want in or vice versa, remember you’ll always need a minimum of three defenders.

Comment #29I have just discovered my problem. I have bad eyes and always have the screen [TEXT) quite large and I wasn’t getting the whole panel when I clicked opn a player, so wasnt seeing any options below captain. I unzoomed my screen and got the options. Thanks guys, I had 3 players on zero. Phew!!

After the Iranians not singing their national anthem, the english taking a knee, now the germans placed their hands on their mouth against the censorship of FIFA…

Comment #32Watching the Germany v Japan game reminds me of the worst ever foul in WC history.
1982 when the German keeper Schumaker rushed out and drop kicked the French forward Battiston – left him with severe head injuries which he still suffers from today. A free kick was not even awarded.

Comment #36So we’re seventh favourite to sign Ronaldo. Chelsea second. Me, I wouldn’t sign him!
I never thought I’d say that…
Ronaldo, I know one of your people reads this blog. Quit man, while you’re ahead. Don’t ruin your reputation.
If you absolutely can’t, there’s only one destination for you: Sporting.
