Marcus Rashford set to replace injured Harry Kane for England's World Cup qualifiers against Malta and Slovenia

Marcus Rashford is in line for an instant international recall after Harry Kane was ruled out of England's matches against Malta and Slovenia.

Tottenham are yet to stipulate the exact length of time striker Kane will spend on the sidelines after he injured ankle ligaments in the win over Sunderland on Sunday.

But England's first-choice striker is certain to miss the World Cup qualification double header next month leaving manager Sam Allardyce with a selection dilemma.
