Tottenham star Kane not undroppable insists ​England boss Southgate

England boss Gareth Southgate is well aware of the quality of his star striker Harry Kane.

But the Three Lions coach also believes that no player in his squad is undroppable.

It means that his captain Kane will have to continue to fight for his place, like every other player in the team.

Kane managed three goals as England raced to a 4-0 win over Bulgaria in a Euro 2020 qualifier.

"In the summer we decided that he wasn't ready to start, so I don't think you can have a player that is undroppable, because that is a dangerous route for any team and it is not a healthy position for a player," Southgate said to reporters about Kane.

"But it is safe to say we won't be dropping him for tomorrow.

"His level of performance is so high that dropping him would be a rare occurrence."
