Kane and Bellingham driving England forward after World Cup pain

Harry Kane is poised to match England's appearance record with his 125th cap against the Czech Republic, as he builds on his strong partnership with Jude Bellingham. Tuchel anticipates Kane will lead England's attack if he ties Peter Shilton's Nations League appearance record. Kane, England's record scorer with 89 goals, has been a constant in the team over 11 years, navigating through highs and lows.

Despite England's recent setbacks, Tuchel believes Kane and Bellingham are crucial to their hopes of winning Euro 2028. Bellingham's recent resurgence under Tuchel has been remarkable, earning him a place in the World Cup squad after being dropped in October 2025. The duo's on-pitch chemistry and masterful form have been praised by teammates and pundits alike, with Bellingham now positioned as a key offensive threat for England.
