Kane Nears Shilton's England Record
6 Oct
Summary
- Harry Kane set to match Peter Shilton's appearance record.
- England faces Czechia at Wembley on Tuesday evening.
- Bayer Leverkusen's Jarell Quansah starts in defense for England.
Harry Kane is on the verge of a significant milestone, set to achieve his 125th appearance for England against Czechia at Wembley Stadium. This appearance will tie him with Peter Shilton's long-standing record for the most caps earned by an English player. Kane, the current England captain, has been a key player in the ongoing UEFA Nations League campaign, having scored in the initial three rounds.
Bayer Leverkusen's Jarell Quansah is set to debut in central defense, partnering Marc Guehi, as Trent Alexander-Arnold returns to the right-back position. For the visiting Czechia side, Hoffenheim's Vladimir Coufal will assume captaincy duties in the absence of the suspended Ladislav Krejčí. His teammate Robin Hranáč also features in the starting lineup.
In a concurrent fixture from the same group, Croatia will host Spain. Spain enters this match extending an impressive unbeaten streak of 41 games, having secured victories in their first three Nations League matches. Croatia, conversely, is looking to recover from a significant 7-0 defeat suffered against England earlier in the competition.
