Maresca said after the 2-1 win: "My reaction is that we finished the game 10 minutes ago, we won 2-1 and the rest, there is not any reaction, there are no comments. We finished the game 10 minutes ago.

"I am not thinking about Harry Kane or what he's saying. I don't have any comments about this."

Asked if there's pressure on Palmer not to play for England, he added: "Me? Absolutely not."
