England captain Kane could miss the Wales friendly

Bangla Press Desk: England captain Harry Kane could miss Thursday's friendly against Wales after the Bayern Munich striker was unable to train on Wednesday.

Kane joined up with England despite suffering an ankle issue in Bayern's win over Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday.

Speaking after the Frankfurt game, Kane said: "I am recovering at the moment -- I took a knock. A few days and then I should be fine, so no problem for the national team. I will be there on Monday."

But the 32-year-old, who is England's record scorer with 74 goals, sat out Wednesday's session, along with uncapped Bayer Leverkusen defender Jarell Quansah.

Kane had scored against Frankfurt to reach 18 goals in just 10 matches for Bayern this season.

Ollie Watkins, Marcus Rashford, Jarrod Bowen and Anthony Gordon will be among the contenders to replace Kane if he is unable to face Wales.

England sit top of Group K, seven points clear of second-placed Albania, as they look to clinch their place at next year's World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

The Three Lions have won all five of their qualifiers, with three games remaining.
