England manager Gareth Southgate has allayed fears over Mason Mount's fitness by stating the midfielder should be fit to face Poland in their 2022 World Cup qualifier.

There were doubts surrounding Mount's fitness after he missed part of training on Tuesday. However, the 22-year-old is expected to feature at Wembley in Wednesday's Group I tie.

Southgate said of the Chelsea player: "No, he didn't warm up with the team but he did the rest of the session with the team.

"He should be fine. They are all available as far as we are concerned."

Speculation over the future of Three Lions captain Harry Kane has been present throughout this international camp with the Tottenham striker yet to win any silverware with his club side.

But Southgate does not expect it to distract Kane, with the European Championship coming up this summer.

Southgate added: "I've got no worries about Harry Kane, he's a fantastic professional. He is always focused on the next match, he's someone who can absolutely put anything to one side."

Poland will be without all-time leading goalscorer and captain Robert Lewandowski due to a knee injury. They have also been hit hard by Covid-19 cases in their camp.

Southgate insisted: "I think Poland have got some excellent players and we would be naive to think they would be less of a threat.

"If we take our foot off the gas for one minute we will be hurt. We need to be ready for the game, which we are. A team isn't just about one player and we have to prepare for the highest level."
