​England captain Kane carried injury claims Neville

Former Manchester United right back and football pundit Gary Neville believes England captain Harry Kane may have been carrying an injury.

While Kane is the top scorer at the World Cup so far, most of his goals have come from penalties.

Kane did not look his usual bright self in the semi final defeat to Croatia. While his hold up play was impressive, he did not have the freedom of movement normally associated with the player.

"I'd be amazed if we didn't learn in the next few days that Kane wasn't carrying an injury since the Colombia game," Neville said on ITV Sport.

"I'd be amazed.

"He wasn't even moving around in the second half against Colombia. Against Sweden he was static.

"It's not an excuse, he's just not looked right."
