England captain Harry Kane is poised to become the most-capped player in his country's history when he leads the team out against Croatia in the UEFA Nations League on Thursday.
The 33-year-old striker will make his 126th appearance for the Three Lions, moving past the previous record of 125 caps held by former goalkeeper Peter Shilton, which has stood since 1990.
The milestone marks the conclusion of a significant year for the Bayern Munich forward, who was awarded the Ballon d'Or in October, becoming the first English player to receive the honour in 25 years.
Kane's leadership has been central to England's recent international campaigns, with the forward serving as a mentor for the squad's emerging generation of talent.
The match at Wembley Stadium serves as a pivotal fixture in the Nations League group stage, with England looking to secure a positive result under their captain's record-breaking leadership.
Following this encounter, the England squad will continue their preparations for upcoming international fixtures as they look to maintain their standing in the competition.
