Harry Kane to Make First England Start in Italy
The 21-year-old Tottenham striker impressed last week in the 4-0 win over Lithuania and called his debut goal for England "a dream come true" after scoring 79 seconds after coming off the bench at Wembley.
Hodgson declined to reveal his full team line-up, but said he was thrilled at the prospect of having Kane and skipper Wayne Rooney starting upfront in Turin.
"It’s nice to see both of them on the field together," Hodgson said. "They played a lot in training and I am pleased to see them playing together from the start. Harry certainly deserves his chance and I’m looking forward to the game."We are taking it very seriously. It’s a great opportunity for the players who haven't had a chance in the qualifiers to show they really deserve their place in the squad and that they’re good enough to replace the players I’ve been selecting before them.
