England are hopeful captain Harry Kane will be fit to face the United States on Friday despite an ankle injury scare, sources have told ESPN.

The 29-year-old underwent a scan which is believed to have been more precautionary than in response to a deterioration in his condition after he was substituted with 14 minutes remaining of Monday's 6-2 win over Iran.

Kane, who has a history of ankle problems, was pictured with strapping on his right ankle as he left the Khalifa International Stadium but sources have played down the severity of the problem and goalkeeper Jordan Pickford confirmed Kane took part in a closed training session at the team's base in Al Wakrah on Wednesday.
