Harry Kane does not believe the 2026 World Cup will be his last chance to help England end their long wait for silverware. The England captain’s future with the national team has come under increasing scrutiny, with the 31-year-old surprisingly omitted from the starting line-up from last week’s match in Greece.

Harry Kane said incoming England coach Thomas Tuchel has been boosted by the emergence of a crop of young players who have shone in the absence of more experienced internationals after a 5-0 Wembley win against the Republic of Ireland.

Harry Kane has opened up about what “straight-talking” Thomas Tuchel is like to work with. Tuchel was Kane’s head coach at Bayern Munich last term and will link back up with the England captain when, on January 1, he assumes his new role as the permanent England manager.
