Southgate reveals Kane could be selected for Nations League duty even if he misses Champions League final

Gareth Southgate has revealed that he will be closely monitoring Harry Kane’s progress ahead of the Nations League semi-final against Netherlands on June 6, with Tottenham competing in the Champions League final five days prior.

England’s captain has been out of action since suffering an ankle injury during Spurs’ Champions League quarter-final first leg victory over Manchester City on April 9.

The 25-year-old has been fighting to return to fitness ever since and watched on as his team-mates completed a remarkable second-half comeback against Ajax to reach the final in at Wanda Metropolitano.
