After a couple of minutes he was back to his feet, but was taken off by manager Gareth Southgate in the 75th minute as a precaution ahead of Friday's clash with USA.

And in a sight that England fans won't like to see, Kane walked away with his ankle bandaged up.

Journalist David Ornstein shared snaps of the striker limping through the mixed zone where media wait to talk to players after games.

Though in a boost for England, it appears Kane has escaped any serious injury.
