England coach Southgate delivers Kane injury update

England coach Gareth Southgate has eased injury fears around Harry Kane after their World Cup victory against Iran.

Tottenham striker Kane required lengthy treatment on an ankle problem following a hefty challenge before being substituted in the second half.

He was later seen slightly limping out of the stadium with light strapping to protect the injured joint.

But Southgate said: "I think Harry's fine.

"It obviously looked a bad tackle but he carried on in the game and we took him off because we could do that."
