Kane's absence hurt England in defeat to Japan, says Tuchel

England can succeed without Harry Kane but it is easier to win when he is in the team, manager Thomas Tuchel said after his side ​lost limply at home without their injured talismanic captain, Reuters reported. 

Bayern Munich's prolific striker ‌was ruled out of Tuesday's friendly against Japan at Wembley due to an injury in training the day before.

Without him, England offered little up front and lost 1-0 in their last game on home soil ​before the World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada, according to Reuters.
