Roy Hodgson Upset Over England Training Ground
Photographers watching Kane's first training session with the senior
squad on Tuesday seemed to stumble on Hodgson's possible selection for
Friday's European Qualifier against Lithuania at Wembley.
They took shots of an England formation on a scrap of paper in Hodgson's hand, which showed Spurs striker Kane partnered with captain Wayne Rooney.
Andros Townsend, Ross Barkley, Ryan Mason and Theo Walcott were named in a four-man midfield in front of centre backs Phil Jones and Chris Smalling for what was an attacking drill.
But Hodgson was upset at what he saw as "espionage" even though the pictures came from a part of the training session that was open to the media, and he says there should be no assumptions that Kane will start.
"That is dangerous to do that (assume Kane will start)," Hodgson said.
"First of all it is dangerous to spy on those things at a training session. The fact is that piece of paper is a piece of paper we take out to training because we have to select teams.
