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.

My favourite world cup was the 1970 tournament, but this is shaping up to possibly surpass the 1970 world cup, great stuff indeed.

Munster, Qatar own PSG though so realistically they would have to sell PSG to buy Man Utd.

I had a major checkup on my prostate cancer in early September 2022, and it looks like the Hormone treatment I have on has become much less effective.

The treatment options are now few, and I am in the final stages of stage 4 prostate cancer.

I was diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer (Gleason count 4+3) in April 2011, and immediately had a prostatectomy, but cancer had already spread.

I was put on a course of radiation treatment in late 2011 (38 bouts every weekday for 8 weeks) and in December 2016, the cancer spread to the bones, and we were then in stage 4 - terminal cancer - no cure - but treatments to prolong life.

I have been on Lupron injections, Xtandi medication, and Xjeva injections since then as part of the Hormone treatment.

I recently met with Professor Young Whang at the University Of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill, and he reviewed my case from the very beginning and reviewed it with his colleagues too.

The recommendation is that I go onto radiopharmaceutical therapy - which is a fairly new form of treatment introduced about 9 years ago.

My particular treatment is Xofigo, a radioisotope of radium 223 dichloride, and I get it via an infusion into the veins: I started this treatment on November 23rd - and I will have 6 infusions: one infusion every 4 weeks.

My major side effects of these treatments has been major fatigue, tiredness and general weakness.

As I have said before - It is as it is and we have to deal with it.

Neil has continued with the blog and I will contribute - when I can.
