Man City veteran Delph: No lingering Kane rift

Throughout the season England teammates will come up against one another, but very rarely does it end as catastrophically as the incident between Fabian Delph and Harry Kane in the Champions League.

Kane suffered an ankle injury after a collision with Delph during Tottenham Hotspur's win over Manchester City at the New Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

However, the City man has been quick to dispel any rumours of a rift between the pair.

"Me and Harry are really close. We're in the leadership group here together, and we've got a lot of time for each other," Delph said.

"I mean, it was a heat of the moment type thing, I wasn't quite sure what had happened.

"I just felt his knee hit my knee, and I landed on him. A lot was made about that challenge, whether I'd 'done' him or he'd 'done' me.

"I just think it's part and parcel of football. I spoke with Harry straight after the game. I went into the changing room to see him, and we had a conversation, wished each other well."
