HARRY KANE revealed his disappointment at being blocked from wearing the One Love armband.
England captain Kane and Gareth Bale of Wales had planned to wear the armband during matches to promote diversity and inclusion.
But they were warned by Fifa they could be booked before the start of the match.
The Spurs star, outstanding in the 6-2 win over Iran, had to wear a Fifa armband instead as pundit Alex Scott sported the One Love version.
Kane said: “The decision was taken out of my hands. I am disappointed.
“I turned up to the stadium with the armband that I wore and I was told I had to wear that.

“Look, it’s out of our control as players.
“I’m sure the FA and Fifa will continue those discussions but most importantly, we focused on the game and got a great result.
“We took the knee today as well but sometimes these decisions aren’t up to us and that’s the bottom line.
“As a squad, our focus was on the game today and I think we showed we’re a really good team and have full focus on what we need to do.”

Meanwhile, Kane gave England an injury scare by limping back to the team hotel with strapping on his ankle.
