JAKARTA - Harry Kane was in the spotlight when England were eliminated from the 2022 World Cup. He failed to equalize from the penalty spot at the end of the match against France in the quarter-finals.

The captain's shot soared past the crossbar while ensuring Les Bleus won 2-1 and qualified for the semifinals in Qatar.

Tottenham Hotspur realized the captain was still hit by the incident. For that, they want the striker to recover mentally as a result of the defeat.

The Lilywhites gave Kane a break a week before he returned to training with the club.

The British squad departed from Qatar on Sunday, just a day after losing to France. Thus, Kane didn't have to return to training until December 19, the day after the World Cup final.

Meanwhile, the Daily Mail reports that Spurs coach Antonio Conte is concerned about Kane's mental condition and will hold a meeting with the 29-year-old striker.

"It's really heartbroken," Kane wrote on Twitter after England's defeat to France.

"We have given everything and it comes to small details that I account for. Nothing can be hidden, it hurts and it will take time to forget it but it's part of the sport.

"Now it's about using experience to be mentally and physically stronger for the next challenge. Thank you for all the support throughout the tournament - this means a lot."
