Harry Kane set to make England history in upcoming Nations League clash

Harry Kane is on the verge of cementing his legacy further as he prepares to lead England out against Croatia at Wembley Stadium this Thursday. The current Three Lions captain is set to earn his 126th cap, officially surpassing Peter Shilton’s long-standing record of 125 appearances to become the nation's most-capped player of all time.

A historic night for the captain

This milestone caps a remarkable period for the forward, who recently became the first English recipient of the Ballon d'Or since 2001. Thomas Tuchel’s side enters the contest in high spirits, needing only a single point to secure their progression to the Nations League quarter-finals. England remains in dominant form against the visitors, having secured a 7-0 victory in their previous meeting in Rijeka.

The match could also feature a rare family milestone, with Jobe Bellingham receiving his first senior call-up. Should he feature alongside his brother, Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham, it would mark the first time in nearly two decades that two brothers have played for England simultaneously.

Despite missing key defenders Ezri Konsa and Marc Guehi, England remains the heavy favorite. Croatia, meanwhile, is struggling to avoid an unwanted record, as they risk losing four consecutive matches for the first time in their history as an independent nation.
