England captain Harry Kane limps out of Iran World Cup opener with strapping on his ankle in a massive potential blow to boss Gareth Southgate... but insists he is 'fine' to reporters after the game

England have suffered a huge injury scare after captain Harry Kane limped off with strapping on his ankle after their World Cup opener against Iran.

The Three Lions skipper was substituted off after 76 minutes on Monday afternoon, 15 minutes after Iran defender Morteza Pouraliganji was booked for a rash sliding tackle which caught Kane's ankle and left him in a heap, wincing in pain.
