Speaking to reporters after the match, Kane said: "I'm okay. It was a contact to the bone. I had it a few weeks ago, and it was in the same spot today. A few days and it'll be fine."
When asked if he would join the England team on Monday, the Three Lions star added: "Yes I'll be there Monday."

The prolific star scored the second goal for his side just three minutes before the half-hour mark with a brilliant strike.
