Tony Cascarino insists Harry Kane should not start for England against the Netherlands on Thursday – because Virgil van Dijk would have a field day.
The two players meet again when their countries go head-to-head in the semi-final of the Nations League, just five days after Liverpool beat Tottenham 2-0 in the Champions League final.
Kane was underwhelming on his return from injury in Madrid, failing to escape the close attention of Van Dijk, who was imperious once again.
And Cascarino, writing in his column for the Times, says Van Dijk would be delighted if Kane starts again in Portugal.

“It will be very interesting to see whether Gareth Southgate starts Kane in the Nations League semi-final on Thursday, especially as he will be up against Van Dijk again.
“Van Dijk will be thinking that he could have another easy night if Kane starts for England.”
Van Dijk was so good across the season that former Liverpool winger John Barnes thinks he deserves to win the Ballon d’Or.
Speaking to talkSPORT, he said: “Normally when you look at the Ballon d’Or winners, they’re either attacking midfield players or centre-forwards. They are goalscorers and eye-catching players.
“But there haven’t been any of those types of players who have really set the world alight this season.
“So from a point of consistency and from a point of success, for me Van Dijk would have to be the man.”
