English star Harry Kane is racing against time to regain his full physical fitness, before participating with his country in the European Nations Cup (Euro 2024), which opens in Germany in 12 days.
Coach Gareth Southgate’s team is intensifying its preparations to participate in the continental competition, which the England national team dreams of winning for the first time in its history, after reaching the final match in the last edition, Euro 2020.
The German Bayern Munich striker (30 years old) was among 26 players who trained today, Sunday, at the “Rockcliffe Park” stadium of the English team Middlesbrough, in preparation for the friendly match between the England national team against the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team.
Kane missed Bayern’s last two matches last season due to a back injury he suffered in the team’s match against Real Madrid in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final.
Manchester United’s English defenders Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw, who suffer from muscle problems, and Newcastle’s English player Anthony Gordon, who suffers from an ankle problem, only performed individual exercises.
Kobe Maino, Kyle Walker and Phil Foden are scheduled to join the England national team in the coming days, while Champions League winner Jude Bellingham will follow them with his Spanish team Real Madrid before the other friendly match, which will be held next Friday against Iceland.
It is noteworthy that the England national team is in the third group of the European Nations group stage, accompanied by the national teams of Slovenia, Denmark and Serbia.
