England captain Harry Kane has been left on the bench for Thursday’s UEFA Nations League clash against Greece, with Ollie Watkins taking his place in the starting lineup.

Kane, who started England’s last Nations League game against Finland, is not assumed to be carrying any injuries.

Kyle Walker will wear the captain’s armband to Kyle Walker while Liverpool Curtis Jones has been handed his England debut.

On Tuesday, Kane offered a sharp rebuke of his England teammates after nine of them pulled out of the squad through injuries.

“I think every camp people were excited to come, every camp people wanted to play for England and that’s the most important thing,” he said.

“I think England comes before anything. England comes before club.”
