Harry Kane set for a historic and record-breaking night at Wembley

England take on Croatia in the Nations League at Wembley tonight, on what will be a memorable evening for Harry Kane.

The Three Lions captain will move clear of Peter Shilton as his country’s most-capped men’s player of all time on his 126th senior appearance, while also showcasing his newly-won Ballon d’Or award.

Kane is expected to lead Thomas Tuchel’s attack as usual against a team that were thrashed 7-0 by England in Rijeka last month, supported by Anthony Gordon, Jude Bellingham and potentially Rio Ngumoha.

Manchester City centre-back Marc Guehi was assessed over the weekend after being substituted with a hip injury at half-time of Saturday’s defeat by Nottingham Forest and has since pulled out of the England squad.

Tuchel called up Dan Burn in his place, having also now handed a first senior call-up to Bournemouth’s James Hill.

Arsenal defender Ezri Konsa will not be available for the Croatia game, but is expected to return to full training ahead of Sunday’s trip to Spain.

He has been following his own individualised programme while the rest of the squad train at Tottenham’s Hotspur Way.

Tuchel ruled Konsa out of Croatia’s visit, along with Inter Milan full-back Djed Spence, who is also injured but should be in contention to face Spain.

Tuchel must decide whether to hand Hill a senior debut or reshuffle his defence with Ben White coming in at right-back, thus allowing Jarell Quansah to partner Burn in the middle.
