Will he even play at the next tournament?
There's no way Roy is dropping his captain, he tried Rooney on the left in the World Cup and look what happened and going 4-4-2 in an international tournament is something Martinez would do. However I suppose Roy has always been a 4-4-2 man so maybe this might allow him to go screw it and just go for it. With England's defence I can't see them keeping too many clean sheets anyway.
I hope he does go 4-4-2 with Townsend on the left, Walcott on the right with Henderson and Barkley in midfield for Italy. I want to see Barkley up against the very best in that position and see how good Kane actually is. They may as well try it now given the injury list to see if it would work. If England get hammered then it's probably best leaving Kane as an impact player.
He could just use a diamond, you know, like he has for half the qualification campaign.
