But the England boss has done a U-turn and delegated the task to skipper Wayne Rooney against Wales.

Rooney, playing in midfield behind Kane, stepped up to whip in a ball after Neil Taylor headed behind the line.

And supporters on social media have rejoiced at the news.

 

But not all fans were pleased by the news, with some questioning why another attacker has been given the duty.
