Alexander-Arnold backs Kane amid clamour for captain to be dropped
England's Trent Alexander-Arnold scores the winning penalty in the UEFA Euro 2024, quarter-final match at the Dusseldorf Arena, Germany, July 6, 2024

TRENT ALEXANDER-ARNOLD insists the Netherlands would love to face an England side without Harry Kane in their Euro 2024 semi-final after the captain came in for criticism following recent performances.

Kane has two goals at the finals, but his all-round play has drawn plenty of questions as he has been on the periphery of a number of games, in particular the quarter-final penalty shoot-out win over Switzerland.

The Bayern Munich striker was replaced during extra time following a nasty fall into the England technical area and watched on as his team-mates scored all five spot-kicks to book a clash against the Dutch in Dortmund on Wednesday.
