Sol Campbell believes England should rest Harry Kane.
Former Tottenham and England defender Sol Campbell has urged the Three Lions to rest star man Harry Kane.
Kane is the World Cup top scorer with five goals from two games and has already helped England book their place in the second round.
England take on Belgium tonight as both sides battle it out to top the group.
Sol Campbell told SkySports that he would like to see Kane on the bench this evening.
He said: “I would rather him on the bench and then coming on for the last 20 minutes, half an hour.
“He’ll be desperate to play but I think you have got to look at the bigger picture. Yes, he wants to win the Golden Boot but then you have got to save the legs.
“You don’t realise, you can be buzzing, everybody can be happy and confidence is high but it is draining you.”
Taking on Belgium will be tougher than England’s first two games, but with the Red Devils also having qualified already, it is unclear how seriously they will take the match.
Belgium’s star striker Romelu Lukaku has already scored four goals himself but he is set to be rested as a precaution after picking up a knock in the 5-2 win over Tunisia.
