England captain Harry Kane will win his 109th cap against Croatia at Wembley on Thursday and become the most capped player in England’s history, two weeks after receiving his Ballon d’Or in London. A win would qualify England for the Nations League quarter-finals, according to SeneNews.

Harry Kane is expected to wear the England shirt for the 126th time against Croatia on Thursday, surpassing former goalkeeper Peter Shilton by one cap, whose record of 125 appearances had stood since 1990, reports SeneNews. The Nations League match is scheduled at Wembley at 20:45.

England manager Thomas Tuchel described Wembley as the ideal setting to celebrate the record, recalling that Kane is the captain of the national team. Opposite him, Croatia captain Luka Modrić, the 2018 Ballon d’Or winner, has 206 caps at the age of 41, according to SeneNews.
