World Cup 2022: Harry Kane says 'hype' around injury similar to Beckham and Rooney

When David Beckham and Wayne Rooney were injured, there was a lot of hype and noise around them.

Kane was taken off in the 76th minute after sustaining a heavy blow to his ankle in the opener.

The Spurs player played the entire game despite having a precautionary Scan.

Kane said that someone else can come in regardless of whether or not he's fully fit.

The team has more than one person. There are 26 players here who want to win the World Cup.

The build-up to the World Cup was overshadowed by the Beckham injury.

54 days before the start of the tournament in Japan and South Korea, a Manchester United player broke a bone in his foot playing in the group stage of the competition.

After being treated in an oxygen tent, Beckham led his side to the quarter-finals, where they were beaten by Brazil.

In 2004, Rooney was England's star player at Euro 2004, scoring four goals in a run to the last eight.

He broke a bone in his foot in the quarter-Final against Portugal and England lost the match on penalties.

I was a fan of England before I joined the team. Kane was aware of the hype and noise that could come when Rooney and Beckham were injured.

We are focused on ourselves to go far in the tournament, even though I know why it happens.

If England avoid a four- goal defeat by Wales in their final group game on Tuesday, they will progress to the last 16.

Kane said that he felt good. I am aware of the amount of noise. I could have played the whole game, but the manager changed it for tactical reasons.

It came back all clear after I had a precautionary Scan. It's good to leave.

I will be ready for the game.

'This tournament suits us'

Extreme temperatures in the country in the summer have caused the World Cup to be moved to the winter.

In order to accommodate the tournament, the world's top leagues have been paused midway through the season, with the premier league shutting down just seven days before the opening game.

Kane was replaced in the second half of the Carabao Cup game againstNottingham Forest after Spurs lost 2-0.

There won't be another major tournament where the players will be at their peak.

The match fitness has been better than a summer tournament where you have a few weeks off and have to get back up to speed.

A lot of us are used to playing every three days at this time of the year.
