'We won't take a chance' - Harry Kane England injury blow confirmed by Lee Carsley as interim boss names new captain for Greece clash

<p><a href="https://www.goal.com/en-ke/lists/vincent-kompany-honest-update-on-harry-kane-bayern-munich-england-given-huge-injury-scare/blt69c62c393c2b6075" target="_blank">Kane limped out of Bayern's 3-3 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga</a> at the weekend and Carsley has since confirmed that the England captain is not fit enough to start their Nations League clash with Greece on Wednesday. In his absence, the interim manager has confirmed that John Stones will captain his country.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>England also face Finland in Helsinki on Sunday, and while Carsley has not ruled out the prospect of Kane coming off the bench against Greece, he is keen to have him available at the weekend. The Bayern star scored twice against Finland in September.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Lee Carsley has confirmed that John Stones will captain the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ThreeLions?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#ThreeLions</a> for the very first time tomorrow ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 <a href="https://t.co/qWxmzAHI9w">pic.twitter.com/qWxmzAHI9w</a></p>— England (@England) <a href="https://twitter.com/England/status/1844102243244703778?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 9, 2024</a></blockquote>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Carsley told reporters: 'Harry's nursing an injury. A small knock. It's something we won't take a chance with."</p><p>He added: "We're not ruling him out yet, of the game, but he won't start the game. He'll be in contention then for Sunday. Time will tell. It's not something we should be rushing."</p>

WHAT CARSLEY SAID

<p>Bayern will be keeping a close eye on England's upcoming double-header. They are next in action on October 19 in the Bundesliga against Stuttgart, before a blockbuster Champions League clash with Barcelona.</p>
