Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte said Harry Kane is currently really tired. This is a danger to the England national team ahead of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, which is only 10 days away.
That fitness problem made Kane unable to play full when his team lost 0-2 toRAN Forest in the third round of the 2022/2023 Premier League Cup at City Ground, Thursday morning WIB.
"It's just exhaustion, but it's normal because Harry [Kane] plays in every game," said the Italian tactician.
In the match against referencing, Kane was pulled out of Conte in the 59th minute when his team was 2-0 behind. The withdrawal was to avoid possible injuries when the player was so tired.
The 29-year-old forward has been down since the first minute in 21 consecutive games for Spurs. Thus, he could be prone to injury that threatens his chances of appearing in the World Cup.
"Yesterday we had a light exercise session and on one occasion he stopped to restore energy. Other players might be able to tell me, 'I'm tired and don't want to play and help the team'," Conte said.
"[The other players] can be selfish and think for themselves because in one week they have to play in the World Cup. On the other hand, Harry Kane shows that he is very good," he added.
Kane is among the 26 names who will strengthen the England national team in Qatar later. The Three Lions took on Iran on November 21, before meeting the United States and Wales in Group B.
The England captain had already scored 51 goals. He is only two goals adrift to match Wayne Rooney's record for the national team's most goals.
