Consequently, he will not be available for selection in the upcoming match against Belgium or for Bayern Munich's game against Borussia Dortmund this Saturday.

"He's returning, and unfortunately, he won't recover in time for Tuesday," Southgate confirmed during a press conference.

In Kane's absence, England fell to a defeat against Brazil, who won thanks to 17-year-old Endrick's first international goal.
