Tottenham striker Harry Kane came off the bench in Tuesday night's 1-0 friendly win over Switzerland.
Despite winning the Golden Boot at the World Cup, Kane has looked far from his best in the early stages of the 2018/19 season.
He's managed two goals in six appearances in all competitions.
Ahead of the Switzerland game, England manager Gareth Southgate told reporters that he would rest Kane after he played 90 minutes against Spain.
“Is he [Kane] due a rest? I think so," said Southgate, as per The Telegraph.
"This is one of those occasions where we want to look at our squad and do the right thing with the players for our long-term benefit.”
However, Kane was brought on in the 61st minute with England leading 1-0.
Gary Neville weighs in
Kane has barely had a break since 2015 and former Manchester United defender Gary Neville is concerned with his physical and mental welfare.
He was top scorer at the World Cup but pundits agreed that Kane looked some way from full fitness in Russia.
"I am concerned about Harry Kane," said Neville. "Since 2015 he has played 175 matches and he's struggling. Forget the physical side, he needs a mental break as well.
"I don't think he should have been here for the two weeks. I think there is a welfare thing in terms of looking after players.
"He has not had enough of a break since 2015."
It's unlikely that he'll be rested by Mauricio Pochettino but Neville believes Kane "needs looking after" right now.
"It just seems obvious at this time, particularly with Harry," said Neville. "I do remember the last half an hour in the Colombia game and I thought he was done.
"He literally could not move. He needs a real break and that escape."
Neville recounted how a similar thing happening to him while playing for Man United and England two decades ago.
"I do remember a similar situation with myself accumulating from 1996 through to 1997 and 1998 the World Cup in France.
"In 1999 I blew up and in 2000 I was finished for about six to eight months and I really struggled mentally and physically.
"I am not saying Harry Kane is in the same situation because I don't speak to him, but he just looks like he needs looking after."
Someone needs to give the man a holiday.
