Kane failed to shine on his return from injury
England boss Gareth Southgate has seen his preparations scuppered by domestic finals, meaning the seven players involved in Saturday’s showpiece will not train with the national team until Tuesday.
Jordan Henderson lifted the famous trophy alongside Liverpool team-mates Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez, as defeated Spurs players Eric Dier, Danny Rose, Dele Alli and Kane watched on at the Wanda Metropolitano.
But Kane insists club matters will be put to one side as England look to end their long trophy drought.

“We’ve got such a great bond and, although we’re at different clubs, when we come here everyone’s fully focused on here,” the England captain said.

“Kane was way off the pace and had no impact,” he said.
