Kompany gives injury update on Kane ahead of Bayern's games against Freiburg and Real Madrid | OneFootball

Harry Kane has been ruled out of Bayern Munich’s Bundesliga clash against SC Freiburg on Saturday after picking up an ankle knock on international duty with England's national team.

“Harry trained well until Sunday, then he felt something in his ankle while with the national team. That will have an impact on tomorrow's game - he won't be available," said Bayern head coach Vincent Kompany at a press conference on Friday.

The coach remains hopeful Kane will be fit in time for the first leg of their UEFA Champions League last-16 tie against Real Madrid on Tuesday.

“I'm positive about Tuesday. It's not great, I'd like him to play against Freiburg, but as things stand today that won't be possible,” Kompany added.

On how he plans to compensate for Kane’s absence, Kompany said:

"It all depends a little bit on what happens in training today, who shows that they're 100 per cent fit for this game. 

"The interpretation of this role with us, the two players who take on the number ten role, that's very, very flexible. We can play with two strikers, no problem. We can have two number tens playing. We can play someone with a number ten/nine profile. 

"That's the nice thing, because we have enough attackers around the box. We'll see whether we do that - it depends on the information from the last training session. We'll try to make logical decisions that will help us."

On the bright side for Bayern, with several players using the international break to regain fitness.

“It's looking pretty good. [Nicolas] Jackson is suspended and I'd like to have Harry back, but that's not going to happen. But Jamal [Musiala] and ‘Phonzy’ [Davies] are in, [Hiroki] Ito built up some game time on international duty, ‘Manu’ [Neuer] is back, [Aleksandar] Pavlovic is back. We'll see who can start - but the squad is about where it needs to be,” Kompany said.
