Tottenham striker Harry Kane is confident being fresh for England at the World Cup.

Kane believes the timing of the World Cup could even be a positive.

“I'd rather be going into it playing loads of games where you feel match fit," he said. “Sometimes after the season in the summer you have a break and then you have to gear back up to play and you haven't played a lot of games. Rolling into it can help — as long as you manage it well and you recover well.

"I think recovery is the most important thing for any player in this period.

“You can try and train as much as you can, but the bottom line is you need to be ready to have all your energy ready for the game, and that's what I'm trying to do."
