England captain Harry Kane has rejected the "hype and noise" around his injury at the World Cup.

Kane sustained a heavy blow to the ankle in the opening 6-2 win over Iran and was taken off after 76 minutes.

The Tottenham striker had a precautionary scan, but then played the whole of the laboured 0-0 draw against the United States.

"Whether or not I am fully fit or injured, someone else can come in - in any position," Kane told BBC Sport.

"The team isn't just me. We have 26 players here who are all looking to achieve the same thing: to win a World Cup."

Kane added: "I was an England fan before I was an England player. I know [about] when Rooney got injured, when Beckham had the injury, so I know the hype and noise that can come.

"I know and understand why it happens, but from our point of view, we are fully focused on ourselves to go far in the tournament."
