Gareth Southgate has confirmed that Harry Kane will start England's Euro 2020 decider against the Czech Republic and insists the captain remains his most important player.
In a show of faith to the under-scrutiny forward, Southgate broke his usual protocol over announcing the team in advance, having replaced Kane in both the 1-0 win over Croatia and Sunday's frustrating goalless draw with Scotland.
Kane finished last season with the most goals and assists in the Premier League but has so far looked subdued at the Euros and is yet to register a shot on target – although he has insisted he is neither tired nor lacking fitness.
England need to beat the Czechs to top the group and a draw would leave them as runners-up on goal difference – although potentially facing a more favourable last-16 match.
Asked if Kane would start on Tuesday night, Southgate told ITV: "You can assume that. I don't mind giving you that."
