But Kane, now chasing the Golden Boot as the World Cup’s top scorer, insisted he does not want to sit out the game.
Kane said: “I want to play, I want to continue the form I’m in but whatever decision the gaffer makes we’ll get behind. It’s important we finish top.
“We’re ahead by a yellow card but we want to win the game and take the momentum into the knockout stages.
“Obviously it has been going well. There’s still a long way to go.
“The most important thing is winning games and if my goals help my team win then that’s the perfect situation.
“There are a lot of good players just behind me.
“Hopefully I can just continue and take it into Thursday’s game.
“We had fun out there as well, which is important. It could have been a tough fixture but we started well.
“We’ve been working hard at set-pieces and it’s nice to see them coming together.
“It’s not every competition you go through after two games so we’re happy with that.”
