Carsley acknowledges England's reliance on Kane for Finland test, admits importance of striker

Carsley mentioned that both players trained on Friday and today, confirming that their fitness levels are good. He also highlighted the positive impact Harry brings to the team, noting his leadership skills, exemplary role as captain, and overall positive influence on the squad. Carsley emphasized that Harry leads by example and is a valuable asset to have in the team.

“We always have that when we've got something really good in front of us: we're always looking for the next big thing. But I think we should appreciate what we've got in front of us with Harry. His goalscoring speaks for itself, what he's done in the past should massively be respected and I think he's still got a lot of games and goals in him, hopefully.”

Asked if Kane is still irreplaceable, Carsley said: “He has proved that in the past with the impact that he has had. His goals record for England and Bayern and Tottenham is brilliant and something we should really appreciate.”
