News about Harry Kane

Jamie Carragher has named what he anticipates the England starting line-up will be when Thomas Tuchel becomes head coach in 2025. Tuchel was confirmed as Gareth Southgate's successor on a permanent basis on October 16, three months after he resigned following the Three Lions' Euro 2024 final defeat by Spain. The former Chelsea boss will begin his £6m-a-year role on January 1, and becomes England's third foreign manager after Sven-Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello. Tuchel will arrive at St. Georges Park after leaving his role as Bayern Munich boss in May, where he coached England captain Harry Kane.

Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane scored a hat-trick to steer his team to a 4-0 victory over visiting VfB Stuttgart on Saturday, snapping their three-game winless run across all competitions and keeping them top of the Bundesliga. Kane, who had missed a golden chance in front of goal in the 51st minute, broke the deadlock six minutes later, rifling in from outside the box. The England captain, who had not scored in his previous two Bundesliga games, the loss to Aston Villa in the Champions League or the recent two England matches earlier in October, then drilled in following a goal mouth scramble on the hour.

The Premier League is set to return after the second international break of the season, with all clubs having played seven games so far. Several teams have enjoyed a positive start, but others have struggled, with four sides still yet to pick up a win. Meanwhile, the likes of Manchester United have suffered a significant dip compared to the start of last season.

Footballers today are too namby-pamby, and they're badly marred by gamesmanship. The sight of players diving to gain an advantage - to get a foul or win a penalty - is disgraceful. Stratospheric salaries have created a huge gap between the players and the fans whose season tickets and TV subscriptions pay their wages. The afternoon after my hat-trick, I went home to Hornchurch and mowed the lawn. The car looked like it could use a wash, so I did that, too. I think it's safe to say Judith's experience had almost nothing in common with the glamorous life of a modern footballer's wife.

Influencers are raving about Urban Legend, which has achieved the seemingly impossible feat of baking irresistible treats that deliver all the flavour of the iconic American doughnut - just without all the junk!

The company cars chosen by Bayern Munich's stars have been revealed, with Harry Kane upgrading on the model he chose last season. Picking a car from sponsor Audi's range has become an annual tradition at Bayern, and it was no different this year as the players got their choice from a range of electric vehicles. England captain Kane picked out a £58,000 car last year just days after completing his £100m transfer from Tottenham.

MATT BARLOW: Thomas Tuchel made goals flow for Kylian Mbappe and Harry Kane. He created systems to coax consistency from the temperamental talents of Neymar, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Ousmane Dembele. He won the Champions League with Timo Werner up front. Put it like that and it is easy to see why the FA have been seduced.

A new boss. A new beginning. As with any workplace, a fresh face at the helm gives the downtrodden a fresh spring in their step but will send a shudder down the necks of the current teacher's pets. Thomas Tuchel was confirmed as the next England manager on Wednesday morning and the 51-year-old's appointment could not be more of a departure from the culture of the last decade. The former Chelsea boss is the kind of 'world-class trophy winner' prescribed by the outgoing Lee Carsley , his Champions League win at Stamford Bridge and treble at Paris Saint-Germain providing a sharp contrast with Gareth Southgate 's empty cabinet. The German is also a more abrasive character than his polite English predecessor and Three Lions fans might be wise to buckle up their seatbelts ahead of an 18 months which promises dressing room bust-ups and press conference outbursts.

Harry Kane claimed the German will bring 'a lot of energy' to the England camp and that is an understatement. Listen to anybody who has worked with or under the 51-year-old and they will tell you of his maverick zeal, pushing his players to the limit mentally and physically. Sometimes influences can come from unexpected places and one man who has shaped how Tuchel coaches is Professor Wolfgang Schollhorn, a German scientist.

Harry Kane has made his first public comments since the news broke that Thomas Tuchel had entered advanced discussions over the England managerial position.  With Gareth Southgate resigning his post at the end of the European Championship this summer - having reached a second successive final - Under-21s boss Lee Carsley was put in interim charge.  With three wins and a defeat in his four competitive matches at the helm, Carsley had been considered a serious contender to take on the role full-time, though he was always going to face competition. 

When Lee Carsley breezed through his first two games as interim England manager, very few would have doubted his suitability to take on the job full-time. An electric win in Dublin, courtesy of ex-Ireland boys Declan Rice and Jack Grealish , followed by a feel-good Wembley victory over Finland, which saw Harry Kane bag a brace in his 100th match, formed a perfect start under the new 'handbrake-off' playing style. But things, as they often do with England, have turned sour. After a humiliating defeat at home to Greece, not even Carsley himself seems to want the job with the boss saying he would 'hopefully...be going back to the [under]-21s'. He then created further confusion following another win over lowly Finland, claiming the Three Lions role was for 'a world class coach who's won trophies' before later stressing that this did not rule him out. With chaos mounting, Mail Sport does its best to work out whether Carsley has a future with England and, if not, who are the runners and riders for the hotseat.

Cole Palmer is the latest England star that appears to be feeling the heavy weight of expectation that comes with playing for the Three Lions, believes Mail Sport's football editor Ian Ladyman. The Chelsea star has begun the new Premier League season in sensational form, scoring six goals and registering five assists in just seven games, but struggled for England during the international break.

Sky Bet are offering a Price Boost as part of their Player Stat Accas market for selected Nations League fixtures taking place tonight. The boost requires Erling Haaland, Harry Kane and Evan Ferguson to each have 2+ shots on target. The odds for that particular bet have been enhanced from 20/1 to 25/1. For those interested in the acca - Haaland's Norway are away against Austria, Kane's England battle Finland in Helsinki, and Ferguson's Republic of Ireland go head-to-head with Greece in Piraeus.

Lee Carsley has heaped praise on Harry Kane as he stakes his hopes of a bounce-back victory over Finland on the newly-fit England captain. The Three Lions slumped to a humiliating 2-1 defeat at the hands of Greece, who are ranked 48th in the world, at Wembley on Thursday night in a match which hampered the interim manager's chances of becoming the boss full-time. A late equaliser from Jude Bellingham looked to have rescued a point for the home side, after Vangelis Pavlidis opened the scoring in the 49th minute, but a stoppage-time goal sealed a brace for the Greek forward and condemned England to defeat. Kane was missing from the squad for the debacle, having been ruled out with an ankle injury picked up for Bayern Munich in a Bundesliga match, and his absence was felt deeply with Carsley's attempt to play Jude Bellingham up front backfiring.

GRAEME SOUNESS: I have been advocating for years for England to go with one sitting player in midfield and let the creative players get on with it. Those creative players did not create against Greece on Thursday night - and, worse than that, they didn't do the hard yards, in terms of pressing the ball as a unit. As a midfield player you are, by definition, in the centre of the pitch, so you have to be a bit of everything: a creator and a defender.

John Stones has revealed where England need to improve following their shock 2-1 defeat by Greece. With Harry Kane unavailable, it was a landmark game for Stones as he captained England for the first time. However, the game certainly didn't go as he would have hoped, with England struggling for long periods.

The likes of Phil Foden, Jude Bellingham and Cole Palmer all started the Nations League game at Wembley on Thursday night, while captain Harry Kane missed the game as he continued his rehabilitation from a minor injury. It meant interim manager Lee Carsley opted to line up without a recognised striker for the game, with Bellingham playing the most advanced out of the attacking players on the field. England struggled to create chances in the first half of the game, however, with Palmer spurning the best just yards from goal after he was played in by Bellingham.

England interim manager Lee Carsley has experimented with playing Jude Bellingham as a striker in training this week as he considers unleashing a wealth of attacking talent on Greece on Thursday. Days after casting doubt on the viability of picking Bellingham, Cole Palmer and Phil Foden in the same XI, it emerges Carsley - who confirmed John Stones would captain England in Harry Kane's absence - has put the triumvirate in the same team in training leading up to tonight's game at Wembley. Among the formations explored was one with Real Madrid midfielder Bellingham as a deep-lying striker.

Lee Carsley has confirmed that Harry Kane will not start England's Nations League clash with Greece on Thursday. After leading England to the final of the European Championships this summer Kane has enjoyed a flying start to life back at club level, netting ten goals in nine games in all competitions for Bayern Munich. The 31-year-old contributed an assist in Bayern's draw with Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday, but was later forced off injured after colliding with an opposition player.

Bayern Munich boss Vincent Kompany has reportedly instituted a number of strict rules on his players since taking over the club this summer. With Bayern reeling from missing out on a first league title in more than a decade, the appointment of the former Manchester City defender raised eyebrows when it was announced in May. The Bavarian club paid more than £10million in compensation to Burnley to secure Kompany's services, despite the Belgian failing to stave off relegation after returning the Clarets to the top flight.

SIMON JORDAN: The proper time for a robust discussion about Erik ten Hag's future was during the summer, not seven games into a new season in which he's been handed an extended contract and £200milion worth of new players and a so-called new framework which is only weeks old. While I am sceptical about Ten Hag's capabilities to be a successful Manchester United manager long-term, my question to Sir Jim Ratcliffe this week is: 'What is the point of sacking him now?'

England captain Harry Kane - despite his injury struggles - remains the most likely candidate to open the scoring against Greece as per Sky Bet.  The Bayern Munich star was cleared to remain with the squad for the forthcoming Nations League fixture despite suffering separate groin and ankle problems in his side's draw with Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday. Kane then missed Tuesday's training session at St George's Park, with some suggestions that Ollie Watkins or Dominic Solanke could lead the line-up.

MAIL SPORT EXPERTS: with Cole Palmer and Bukayo Saka in blistering form, will there still be places for Premier League player of the season Phil Foden and Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham? The picture in defence is no clearer, with no out-and-out left back in the squad and injuries to several centre backs. On top of that, Kyle Walker 's form for Manchester City and England is a worry.

SAMI MOKBEL: Harry Kane is in a race against time to prove his fitness for Thursday's clash versus Greece after missing training on Tuesday. The England captain was cleared to remain with the squad for the forthcoming Nations League fixtures despite suffering separate groin and ankle problems in Bayern Munich's draw with Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday. But Kane missed Tuesday's training session at St George's Park, instead remaining indoors to work on an individualised programme.
