London - England manager Roy Hodgson expressed reservations on Thursday about Tottenham Hotspur's plans to take striking sensation Harry Kane to Australia for a post-season friendly against Sydney FC.
Kane, 21, has been the revelation of the English top-flight season, scoring 26 goals in 42 games, and has been rewarded with a first senior England call-up for their forthcoming games against Lithuania and Italy.
He is also likely to be selected by England under-21 coach Gareth Southgate for the European Championship in the Czech Republic, starting on June 17, and Hodgson is concerned that participating in Spurs' game with Sydney on May 30 will prevent him from getting a proper break.
