Roy Hodgson has played down suggestions that Harry Kane will be exhausted by June and claims the young Tottenham forward is determined to go to the European Under-21 Championship.
Kane has enjoyed a successful maiden spell with the England seniors over the past week, scoring 79 seconds into his debut against Lithuania before putting in a decent display against a tough Italian defence in Turin.
Hodgson is happy to pass Kane back to the under-21 squad for the next international get-together in June so he can gain some valuable experience of tournament football.
After playing 43 games for Spurs this year, the north London club fear the 21-year-old will be exhausted by the time the Euros come around, but the England manager says he will have to get used to long seasons if he wants to wear the Three Lions for years to come.
