Kane was fouled six occasions throughout his final England match in opposition to Denmark in October and can hyperlink up with the Three Lions for his or her forthcoming internationals subsequent week.

“All I’ve seen in our matches with Harry is Harry get kicked from pillar to publish and not likely protected on the sector, so I can solely converse concerning the video games with us by way of the World Cup and past the World Cup,” Southgate stated on Thursday.

“Each time we play he appears to be a goal for opposition defenders and opposition gamers appear to get away with a hell of quite a bit in opposition to him.

“So, I might welcome a bit extra safety for Harry by way of how that appears like throughout the video games, frankly.”
