Harry Kane Ruled Out of Freiburg With Ankle Knock as Bayern Monitor Fitness for Real Madrid

His availability could shape Bayern’s Champions League quarter-final opener in Madrid.

Overview

  • Kompany confirmed Friday that Kane will miss Saturday’s Bundesliga match at Freiburg after feeling ankle pain on England duty.
  • Bayern hope he can travel for Tuesday’s first leg at Real Madrid in the Champions League, though his status remains uncertain.
  • The striker sat out England’s 1-0 loss to Japan at Wembley on Tuesday after hurting his ankle in training, following earlier rest for the Uruguay friendly.
  • Kane has scored 53 goals in 45 games for club and country this season, which makes any absence a major blow to Bayern’s attack.
  • His history of ankle problems in 2019 and a calf layoff in March has the club taking a cautious approach to his return.
