ENGLAND are set to be without both Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka for tomorrow's friendly against Brazil, after the captain missed training again this morning.
Kane reported to St George's Park with an ankle injury sustained on Bayern Munich duty and has been unable to train outdoors with the rest of the squad.
He is expected to be rested for Brazil's visit to Wembley, leaving manager Gareth Southgate to choose between Brentford striker Ivan Toney and Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins, who are jostling to be Kane's understudy at this summer's European Championship finals.
Kane (below) remains part of the camp and there is optimism he could be fit to face Belgium at the national stadium on Tuesday night England's final match before Southgate names his squad for the tournament on May 21.
Saka (above) last night pulled out of the squad and returned to Arsenal, having reported to England's training base with a minor muscle injury on Tuesday.
