Harry Kane, England, Thomas Tuchel, Bayern Munich
5 June 2026
Harry Kane could have his World Cup group-stage minutes managed as England prepare for demanding heat conditions. Thomas Tuchel selected three specialist centre-forwards, giving him more flexibility to protect his captain before the knockout rounds.
Kane played 51 matches for Bayern last season and remains central to England’s attack. Ollie Watkins and Ivan Toney offer alternatives, especially against Ghana or Panama if Tuchel wants to keep Kane fresher.
