England captain Harry Kane will be joining the England squad for the upcoming friendlies against Brazil and Belgium, despite sustaining an ankle injury while playing for Bayern Munich. The injury occurred during Bayern's 5-2 victory over Darmstadt in the Bundesliga, where Kane scored his 31st league goal of the season. Bayern confirmed the ankle injury on Sunday but did not provide specific details about its severity.

Kane, the striker, has traveled to international duty with England and will receive treatment from the team doctors in collaboration with the FC Bayern medical department. The England national team is set to face Brazil at Wembley Stadium on March 23, followed by a match against Belgium at home three days later.

In addition to Kane's injury, Bayern also announced that full back Raphaël Guerreiro has withdrawn from the Portugal squad due to a minor muscle strain in his left upper thigh. Portugal is scheduled to play friendlies against Sweden on March 21 and Slovenia on March 26.
