Harry Kane will be rested for England's two remaining Nations League fixtures this summer with Gareth Southgate set to deploy Tammy Abraham upfront against Italy and Hungary... meaning he must wait until September to move closer to Wayne Rooney's record

Harry Kane is set to be rested for England’s upcoming Nations League games against Italy and Hungary.

The captain scored his 50th international goal during Tuesday’s 1-1 draw with Germany, moving him one clear of Sir Bobby Charlton into second place in England’s all-time list.

Kane is now three goals off Wayne Rooney’s record of 53 goals for England, but the Tottenham man will not get the chance to close the gap until September as Gareth Southgate will instead let Roma’s Tammy Abraham lead the line against Italy on Saturday and Hungary on Tuesday.
