England fans think Harry Kane has accidentally leaked the Three Lions’ front four for their Euro 2020 clash against Germany.
Gareth Southgate’s stars face a tough challenge in their round-of-16 clash at Wembley, attempting to beat their historic rivals at a major tournament for the first time in 21 years.
And there will be pressure on their captain, who won the Premier League Golden Boot last season leading the line for Tottenham.
While he had not yet scored at Euro 2020, Kane decided to show that he can still find the target with a social media video.
In the clip, the forward is showing off his goal-scoring skills with a three-ball drill.
He curls one into the top-right before taking a ball on the same side through some posts into the net and repeating the trick on the other side.
As he celebrates, three more players – and no others – line up to have a go at the same exercise.
Manchester City stars Phil Foden and Raheem Sterling, who scored both goals for England in Group D, line up alongside Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish.
As Kane shared the clip to his 3.2m Twitter followers, the Three Lions faithful suggested Kane had leaked a key tactic from Southgate.
Do you think Harry Kane will score for England against Germany? Let us know in the comments section.
“That's Foden, Sterling, Grealish in the background – is that our attack for the Germany game,” one supporter said.
Another commented: “Is this our attack for Tuesday?”
While a third added: “Interestingly I only see Foden, Grealish, Sterling and Kane in the drill.”
Kane started all three Group D games for England against Croatia, Scotland and Czech Republic – but his lack of goals drew criticism from pundits.
Daily Star Sport columnist Paul Merson, though, believes the pressure is on the players behind him to deliver.
He said: “Raheem Sterling has to play because he’s scored all our goals so far, so Foden might be the one to miss out again now.
“But we have to play our attacking players, and we have to go out and attack Germany.
“We’re not winning the tournament if Kane doesn’t catch fire. But he needs more service.
“When I played for England, teams would focus on stopping John Barnes. They would double up on him and stop him playing.
“That’s what teams are doing to Kane at the minute. But you know that at any minute he’s capable of suddenly scoring a hat-trick.”
