Angry at teammates
739 million euros missing! Kane is bursting at the seams
England are missing nine players with a total market value of 739 million euros in the Nations League. Captain Harry Kane is angry with his team-mates: "I think England comes before everything else. England comes before the club!"
In Group 2 of League B, Greece and England are battling it out for top spot in the table. After their 2:1 win at Wembley, a draw will be enough for the previously flawless Greeks to secure top spot in the group and promotion to the A-League. England need a win to avoid a relegation play-off with a third-placed team in the A-League. For interim team boss Lee Carsley, the visit to Athens is part one of his farewell performance, with part two following at home to Ireland on Sunday. Carsley will then make way for Thomas Tuchel, who will take over the Three Lions on January 1.
With Phil Foden, Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, Cole Palmer, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jack Grealish, Levi Colwill, Aaron Ramsdale and Jarrad Branthwaite, Southgate's successor is missing prominent players. Physical complaints are said to have led to the withdrawals, but Bayern star Harry Kane believes that there are other reasons behind some of them.
"I don't like it at all"
"Gareth (editor's note: Southgate) took it very seriously and wasn't afraid to make decisions when players started to get out of line. It's a shame for this week, of course. Yes, it's a stressful period of the season and maybe that was exploited a little bit," the 31-year-old told ITV Sport.
And Kane added: "If I'm honest, I don't like it at all. As I've just said, England comes before everything, before any club situation. The joy of playing for England. Gareth has brought that back. Every training camp, people were excited and wanted to play for England because it's the most important thing." Clear words!
