England's preparations for their upcoming clash against Greece at Wembley have been dealt a major blow as skipper Harry Kane struggles with a leg injury. The Tottenham Hotspur striker, who has been instrumental in the Three Lions' attack, is a major doubt for the crucial match, leaving manager Gareth Southgate with a daunting task of finding a suitable replacement.
As Kane battles to regain his fitness, the spotlight has fallen on Dominic Solanke and Ollie Watkins, two strikers who have been knocking on the door of the national team for quite some time. The duo, both of whom have been in impressive form for their respective clubs, will be vying for the opportunity to lead the line against Greece and prove themselves as worthy successors to Kane's throne.
For Solanke, who has been a prolific goal-scorer for Bournemouth, this could be the perfect chance to break into the England starting XI. The 25-year-old has been on the fringes of the national team, earning just a handful of caps, but his impressive form in the Premier League has not gone unnoticed. With his pace, power, and precision in front of goal, Solanke could be the perfect candidate to fill the void left by Kane's injury.
Watkins, on the other hand, has been a regular member of the England squad, but has largely been restricted to cameo appearances off the bench. The Aston Villa striker has been in incredible form this season, scoring crucial goals in the Premier League, and will be eager to prove himself as a starter for the national team. With his versatility, work rate, and eye for goal, Watkins could be an excellent alternative to Kane.
Southgate will have a tough decision to make in the coming days as he weighs up his options. Both Solanke and Watkins have the potential to excel in the role, but only one can start against Greece. The England manager will be keeping a close eye on the duo's performances in training, before making a final decision on who will partner with the rest of the attack.
As Kane works to regain his fitness, the Three Lions will be relying heavily on their supporting cast to step up to the plate. The likes of Marcus Rashford, Phil Foden, and Jack Grealish will need to be at the top of their game if England are to overcome Greece and maintain their momentum in the qualifying group.
Despite the setback, England will be confident of securing a positive result against Greece. The Wembley crowd will be out in full force, cheering on their team, as the Three Lions look to put on a show and prove their strength in depth.
