Harry Kane confirmed that England have a strategy in place for any racial abuse during their World Cup qualifier in Serbia.

The Serbian Football Association has urged fans to behave during Tuesday’s clash in Belgrade, with 15 percent of Stadion Rajko Mitić closed off following issues in recent years.

Meanwhile, the Bayern Munich star revealed that his England teammates have held a meeting to plan their response in case of any discrimination.

"We're prepared to do what UEFA protocols allow us to do. I thought we handled that situation away in Bulgaria really well. And it'll be no different,” Kane told the media.

“These are the things that are hard to talk about now, because we don't know if it's going to happen or not. But ultimately, like I said, we're prepared.

“We had a discussion as a group so that if in the event does happen, we'll be prepared to do what is necessary."

England face Serbia on Tuesday night, over a year since their Euro 2024 meeting. After that 1-0 Three Lions victory, UEFA investigated reports of discriminatory chanting by Serbian fans. Supporters will hope for a controversy-free encounter this time.
