Former England defender Gary Neville has expressed doubts about the prospects of several senior players in Thomas Tuchel's squad, suggesting that the third-place playoff could mark the last time they feature for England at a World Cup.
Neville pointed out that seven players in the 26-man squad are aged 30 and above, including Kane, Jordan Pickford, and John Stones, who are all 32 and have been the foundation of this England side for several major tournaments.
Neville believes that Kane, Pickford, and Stones may not feature in the next World Cup in 2030, stating that the quarterfinal defeat to Argentina was likely to be their last half an hour of World Cup football.
Kane, who will turn 33 later this month, is now England's second most capped player of all time, and he has also surpassed Gary Lineker to become England's record goalscorer at World Cups.
However, speaking after England's semi-final defeat to Argentina, Kane hinted at his desire to play in another World Cup in four years' time, stating that he would address every situation as it came, but for now, it's just about processing another tough loss.
Neville also took aim at Tuchel's post-match comments, suggesting that it was England's DNA rather than his tactics that were the problem in their semi-final defeat.
Neville criticized Tuchel's decision to leave out technical players such as Foden, Palmer, Wharton, Gibbs-White, and Trent Alexander-Arnold, who he believes have massive talent.
