Wayne Rooney has expressed his desire for Harry Kane to be fit and in form for the World Cup, highlighting the striker's crucial role for England. According to Rooney, Kane is having the most prolific season of his career, with multiple reports indicating he has scored 48 goals in 40 appearances for Bayern Munich. Rooney also finds it strange that Kane is not mentioned for major individual honors, suggesting the striker deserves more recognition.
Harry Kane was absent from England's 1-1 draw against Uruguay on Friday, according to multiple reports, due to a minor injury concern. He is scheduled to return for England's friendly against Japan on Tuesday, where he is expected to lead the attack. At club level, Bayern Munich are enjoying a successful season with Kane's contributions.
I think such an important aspect for England is having Harry Kane fit and if he is, then he’ll be a major reason why we do win it if we do.
Multiple reports confirm that Bayern are nine points clear at the top of the Bundesliga and have advanced to the Champions League quarter-finals, positioning them as strong contenders in European competition. Historically, Kane has never finished higher than 10th in Ballon d'Or voting, according to multiple reports, despite his consistent goal-scoring performances. Looking ahead to the World Cup, England will face Panama, Ghana, and Croatia in the group stages, as reported by major media, setting up a challenging path in the tournament.
In other news, Wayne Rooney is involved in the upcoming Soccer Aid for UNICEF charity event. According to major media, the event will take place on May 31 at the London Stadium, featuring celebrities and former players to raise funds for children's causes.
But if you go into any game and you’re not fully committed to that game because you’re thinking of something else then you potentially could get injured.
Any player will tell you that you’re playing for your club and when you’re playing for your club, that’s all that matters until that season is over then you go away with England then England take over.
I don’t think he’ll be slowing down. Hopefully Bayern Munich have the league won quite early and (head coach) Vincent Kompany gives him a little bit of help!
He’s consistent in what he’s done his whole career: he’s scored goals, he’s created goals at both club and international level.
To do it year in, year out, and he never gets mentioned for the big honours which I find quite strange.
It’s at the London Stadium, which I’ve never even been to, so I’m looking forward to that.
