England captain Kane to miss Brazil clash
England captain Harry Kane will miss Saturday's friendly against Brazil and is "extremely doubtful" to face Belgium next week.
Kane suffered an ankle injury playing for Bayern Munich in their 5-2 win over Darmstadt last weekend and will not be risked for the meeting with Brazil at Wembley.
The former Tottenham striker also faces the possibility of missing Tuesday's friendly against Belgium at Wembley
That will be the final match before England boss Gareth Southgate names his Euro 2024 squad, although Kane has no worries about his place on the flight to Germany in June.
Ajax midfielder Jordan Henderson and Chelsea forward Cole Palmer remain with the England squad, but they are also sidelined by injuries for the sold-out clash against the Selecao.
Arsenal forward Bukayo Saka withdrew from Southgate's squad due to injury on Thursday.
"Tomorrow no Harry Kane, no Jordan Henderson, no Cole Palmer," England boss Southgate said.
"I would say Cole and Hendo have a better chance of Belgium than Harry. He'd be extremely doubtful for that."
