England XI vs Greece: Predicted lineup, confirmed team news and injury latest for Nations League game

Harry Kane is a doubt for England’s Nations League match against Greece on Thursday.

The Three Lions captain limped off and was substituted after 72 minutes of Bayern Munich’s 3-3 Bundesliga draw with Eintracht Frankfurt at the weekend.

Kane joined up with the rest of the England squad at St George’s Park on Monday for further assessment and has been deemed fit to stay with the team, but he is now unlikely to feature against Greece after working indoors on an individualised programme on Tuesday.

The 31-year-old is still in line for game time on Sunday when England take on Finland in Helskinki. Meanwhile, all 21 other members of the England squad took part in full training on Tuesday.

Ezri Konsa, Morgan Gibbs-White and Kobbie Mainoo all dropped out of the squad on Monday night after suffering injuries on club duty during the weekend’s Premier League matches. The Football Association (FA) confirmed in a statement that no replacements would be called up.

There is a chance of game time in an England shirt for Dominic Solanke for the first time since his only senior cap to date, back in 2017, after the striker’s strong form for Tottenham earned him a recall to the squad last week.

Carsley’s Three Lions can leapfrog current Nations League Group B2 leaders Greece into top spot if they beat the visitors at Wembley.

Predicted England XI (4-2-3-1): Pickford; Alexander-Arnold, Stones, Colwill, Lewis; Rice, Gomes; Saka, Palmer, Gordon; Watkins

Injured: Mainoo, Konsa, Gibbs-White

Doubt: Kane

Date and time: 7:45pm BST on Thursday October 10, 2024
