England striker Harry Kane has been sent back to Bayern Munich to continue his recovery from an ankle injury.

Kane joined up with the England squad ahead of the friendly against Brazil despite suffering an ankle injury during Bayern's 5-2 win over Darmstadt a week ago.

After sitting out the 1-0 loss to Brazil on Saturday, the 30-year-old will head back to Germany for treatment.

Consequently, he will not be available for selection in the upcoming match against Belgium or for Bayern Munich's game against Borussia Dortmund this Saturday.

"He's returning, and unfortunately, he won't recover in time for Tuesday," Southgate confirmed during a press conference.

In Kane's absence, England fell to a defeat against Brazil, who won thanks to 17-year-old Endrick's first international goal.
