Arsenal hero Sol Campbell believes England should rest Tottenham striker Harry Kane today.

Campbell, who played at the 1998, 2002 and 2006 World Cups for his country, believes that Kane should not be risked against Belgium.

“I would rather him on the bench and then coming on for the last 20 minutes, half an hour," Campbell said to Sky Sports News.

"He’ll be desperate to play but I think you have got to look at the bigger picture. Yes, he wants to win the Golden Boot but then you have got to save the legs.

“You don’t realise, you can be buzzing, everybody can be happy and confidence is high but it is draining you.

"The mental drain on the body and the mind from these big games takes a lot out of your system so to have a little rest and then go again is all good.

“From your legs to your mental approach, I think it all factors in."
