Wayne Rooney has expressed concern over Harry Kane's fatigue levels after England's 2-0 victory over Panama on Saturday night.
What happened?
The Three Lions sealed top spot in Group L with Jude Bellingham opening the scoring in the second-half before Kane wrapped up the victory with a 67th minute header.
Why it matters for Wayne Rooney
Rooney believes Kane should have been withdrawn immediately after his goal, citing the risk of fatigue in the latter stages of the World Cup.
What comes next?
England will now meet DR Congo in their round of 32 match on Wednesday in Atlanta, and Rooney hopes Thomas Tuchel will learn from previous tournaments and give Kane a rest when possible.
Kane has been ever present in the England team for almost a decade, but Rooney thinks he has looked tired towards the end of tournaments in the past.
On Saturday, Kane became England's all-time leading goalscorer at the World Cup with 11 goals, overtaking Gary Lineker.
He was replaced with six minutes of the game remaining, but Rooney thinks this should have happened sooner.
Rooney told BBC One: 'In previous tournaments with Harry Kane, I think he has looked a little bit tired towards the end of tournaments.'
He hopes Tuchel will give Kane a rest when he can, to prevent fatigue from setting in later in the competition.
The World Cup is heating up, with Ronaldo, Messi, Mbappe, and Vini Jr all competing for the Golden Boot.
England's next match against DR Congo will be a tough test, and Rooney thinks it's essential to manage Kane's playing time carefully.
Kane's goal against Panama was his 11th in the World Cup, and he will be looking to add to this tally in the upcoming matches.
But for now, Rooney's concern is Kane's fatigue levels, and he hopes Tuchel will take his advice on board.
The round of 32 match between England and DR Congo is scheduled to take place on Wednesday in Atlanta.
It will be a crucial match for both teams, and Rooney thinks England's chances of success depend on keeping Kane fresh and ready for the challenges ahead.
Rooney's comments come after England's impressive 2-0 victory over Panama, which saw them seal top spot in Group L.
The team is in good form, but Rooney knows that the World Cup is a long and demanding tournament, and that managing player fatigue will be key to success.
As the World Cup progresses, all eyes will be on Kane and the England team.
Rooney's warning about fatigue is a timely reminder of the importance of managing player workload, especially in high-pressure tournaments like the World Cup.
The England team will be looking to build on their success in the group stages, and Rooney thinks they have a good chance of going far in the tournament.
But for now, the focus is on the upcoming match against DR Congo, and making sure that Kane is ready to play a key role in the team's success.
