When news broke that Bayern Munich star striker Harry Kane had suffered an injury while in training camp with the English national team, fans of the German Rekordmeister almost automatically feared the worst.
With the hopes of a treble still in play, an injury to Kane was the last thing that anyone wanted to see. Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany gave an update on Kane and revealed that the Englishman’s ailment is with his ankle, which was a problem a few weeks ago as well.
While Kane will not
be available to face SC Freiburg on Saturday in the Bundesliga, Kompany has him — tentatively — slotted into the lineup for Tuesday vs. Real Madrid.
“Harry felt something in his ankle in England training. He won’t be available tomorrow. But I’m positive regarding Tuesday,” Kompany said in a brief statement during his press conference (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
Kane has been in remarkable form this season with 48 goals and five assists in 40 games across all competitions. As for who will replace Kane in the Bayern Munich lineup vs. SC Freiburg, that remains a mystery. Kane’s primary back-up — Chelsea loanee Nicolas Jackson — is serving a red card suspension, which means Kompany will have to get creative.
If the striker misses Tuesday’s Champions League match, Bayern Munich could be in big trouble.
