ENGLAND have been given a boost over the fitness of Harry Kane.
Goalkeeper Jordan Pickford said: "Harry is fine and out on the grass."
The Three Lions are optimistic that the team skipper will be ready for Friday's United States clash after having a scan on his ankle.
Kane felt discomfort after Monday's 6-2 win over Iran and as a precaution, went to hospital for tests.

The news is a big relief for manager Gareth Southgate who feared he could lose his star man.
