Harry Kane has scored 74 goals in his 109 caps for England

England captain Harry Kane will miss Thursday's friendly against Wales with a minor injury.

The 32-year-old missed training after taking a kick to his ankle during Bayern Munich's 3-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday.

England hope their record goalscorer will be fit to face Latvia in a World Cup qualifier next Tuesday.

Manager Thomas Tuchel said: "Harry will miss the game, he got a kick in his last match and it is too painful to kick the ball and too risky for him.

"We give him the chance for it calm down and we are convinced he will be ready for Latvia."

Tuchel confirmed that one of Jordan Henderson, John Stones or Declan Rice will be captain at Wembley in Kane's absence.
