Harry Kane forced off after crashing into England bench during extra-time despite Gareth Southgate’s bid to save him
ENGLAND captain Harry Kane was forced off after crashing into England's bench during the Euro 2024 quarter-final against Switzerland.
Kane, 30, and Manchester City star Manuel Akanji went for the ball next to the touchline but clashed with too much force during extra-time.
That led to the Bayern Munich superstar tumbling next to his manager Gareth Southgate.
Southgate tried to hold on to his star striker but the damage was already done and he had to take him off.
The Tottenham legend was immediately replaced by Brentford star Ivan Toney in the 109th minute.
That added to England's nerves as they headed to a penalty shootout against Switzerland.
And Kane has always been lethal from the penalty spot as the team's main taker.
But England didn't miss their centre-forward during the nervy shootout.
Southgate's men won 5-3 with a clean sweep that saw every player hit the target.
Cole Palmer, Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka, Ivan Toney and Trent Alexander-Arnold made history at Euro 2024.
That was the first time ever England win a penalty shootout by scoring all five spot-kicks.
It is not certain if Kane got injured from that clash with Akanji, who was the only Swiss star to miss his penalty spot.
