๐ญ Why it matters
England's record goalscorer is now one game from owning the appearance record too. Playing against Croatia at Wembley on 12 November would give him 126 caps and sole ownership of the record, before a trip to Spain on 15 November.
It is good news for Bayern as well. Kane returns to Munich in scoring form, with the Bundesliga resuming away at Augsburg on 10 October.
