His right ankle was lightly strapped after the game and he walked with a limp, but manager Gareth Southgate said after the match that he believed Kane was"fine".
"It looked like a bad tackle but he carried on in the game," said Southgate."We took him off because we felt it was a moment in the game we could do that." The need for a scan suggests the player may still be struggling with his ankle a day after the 6-2 win. The 29-year-old is England's second-highest scorer of all time, behind Wayne Rooney, and could surpass his tally during the World Cup.
He provided two assists during the Three Lions commanding win and it would be a big setback if he's forced to miss games.
