Kane won't play every minute for England, promises Southgate

Gareth Southgate has promised Harry Kane won't play every minute for England as they begin their 2022 World Cup qualifying campaign.

The Three Lions are currently preparing for their first Group I fixture against San Marino on Thursday, with games against Albania and Poland set to follow before the end of the month.

Southgate says Tottenham star Kane is eager to lead the line in all three games, but he is wary of overworking his captain with one eye on this summer's European Championships.
