Harry Kane Returns to Training Ahead of Champions League Match Against Real Madrid
Harry Kane has rejoined his Bayern Munich teammates for training as they prepare for a crucial Champions League quarter-final first-leg fixture against Real Madrid. This development comes as a significant boost for Bayern, particularly as Kane is overcoming an ankle injury sustained while representing England in late March. Initially, the injury led to his withdrawal from the friendly match against Japan held at Wembley, where Bayern’s coach Thomas Tuchel described the ailment as a “minor” complaint.
On the weekend prior, Kane was absent from the squad that achieved a 3-2 victory over Freiburg in the Bundesliga. However, his return to training on Monday saw him demonstrating positivity and readiness during the open session to the media held at Bayern’s training facility. His participation is seen as a critical factor in Bayern’s upcoming clash against the Spanish giants.
Bayern Munich’s head coach, Vincent Kompany, has indicated that he will delay any final decisions regarding Kane’s inclusion in the starting lineup until the evening before the match. This cautious approach reflects the importance of assessing Kane’s fitness as he has already netted an impressive total of 48 goals across all competitions this season, including 10 goals in just nine appearances in the Champions League.
