Harry Kane was seen reporting for England duty on Tuesday afternoon, as the England captain continues to deal with an ankle injury.

During Bayern Munich’s 5-2 win at Darmstadt on Saturday, the Three Lions skipper suffered the injury after colliding with the goal-post during the match.

Just two days later, the 30-year-old had a scan on the ankle and has since joined up with his international team-mates at St George’s Park.

England have friendlies against Brazil and Belgium, before warm-up games against Bosnia and Herzegovina and Iceland in June, but it’s yet to be seen what Kane’s involvement will be.

They will then begin their next UEFA Nations League campaign with matches against Republic of Ireland and Finland in September.

Speaking at the time, Bayern Munich sporting director Christoph Freund said: ‘He will be looked at in England. He has trusted doctors there. We are in close co-ordination on this. Harry won’t take any risks.’

Bayern said in a statement: ‘The striker has still travelled to international duty and will be treated by the team doctors there, in close consultation with the Bayern medical department.’

Bayern head coach Thomas Tuchel said: ‘He collided with the post and twisted his ankle a bit – he had his ankle iced. There’s still no diagnosis, we have to wait. I hope it’s nothing bad.’

England manager Gareth Southgate has seen his squad depleted by injuries and will be crossing his fingers that he can at least call upon his captain.

The games against Brazil on Saturday and Belgium are Southgate’s final opportunities to assess his players before naming his squad for this summer’s European Championship in Germany.

Kane, England’s all-time leading scorer with 62 goals, notched his 31st Bundesliga goal of the season on Saturday.

Earlier on Tuesday, Manchester United star Kobbie Mainoo was handed his first ever senior England call-up ahead of their upcoming friendlies.

The 18 year old was initially part of the Under-21 squad but has been drafted into Gareth Southgate’s group for their matches later this month.

All other 25 players reported to St. George’s Park on Tuesday ahead of the forthcoming internationals against Brazil and Belgium.

United midfielder Mainoo has previously represented England at U17 through to U19 level – but is yet to be capped at U20 or U21 level.
