Overview
- Kane will not face SC Freiburg as Bayern prioritize getting him ready for Tuesday’s Champions League quarter-final first leg at Real Madrid, according to multiple reports in Germany.
- His current problem stems from a minor knock in England training that led the FA to rest him for the Japan friendly as a precaution.
- On his return to Munich, Bayern arranged their own medical checks, and a MagentaTV journalist reported he worked indoors on an exercise bike as part of managed recovery.
- Kane’s form this season — 48 goals in 40 games — explains the caution, and England manager Thomas Tuchel said teams lose threat without him, likening his value to Messi or Ronaldo for their nations.
- Speculation over his future has resurfaced as outlets report slow contract talks and interest from Manchester United, though he is under contract at Bayern until 2027 with no concrete move reported.
