England captain Harry Kane delivered a frank interview as several players pulled out of Lee Carsley's squad for the UEFA Nations League matches against Greece and Ireland
Ian Wright and Roy Keane took different slants on on Harry Kane's comments about his England colleagues after nine players withdraw from the squad to face Greece and Ireland in the UEFA Nations League,
"It's a shame this week obviously," Kane - who starts on the bench against Greece - told ITV in the lead-up to the game. "Yeah, I think it's a tough period of the season and maybe that's been taken advantage of a little bit. I don't really like it if I'm totally honest. I think as I just said there England comes before anything, any club situation."
"For Harry to say that about the people he's been in the trenches with - two finals, semi-finals of the World Cup, knowing the calibre of the players - to say he's disappointed to see them not coming, especially with the fixtures and going crazy with the amount of games they're having to play, it was a bit of a shock to me to be honest.
Wright had earlier pointed out that Thomas Tuchel has been confirmed as England's next permanent manager, but won't take over until January, with Lee Carsley in charge for the November break.
