Ankle problems: break for Bayern goalscorer Kane? | OneFootball

Worries about Harry Kane: The Bayern striker is struggling with ankle problems – a game against Freiburg is currently on the cards

At FC Bayern, the focus is once again on Harry Kane. Following his recent injury with the national team, there are now new question marks surrounding the 32-year-old’s health

According to Sky, there are currently many indications that Kane will not play in Saturday’s Bundesliga match against SC Freiburg due to persistent ankle problems that continue to affect the attacker

There is a clear plan at Säbener Straße: Kane is to be rested in order to get him fit in time for the Champions League clash against Real Madrid. The first leg of the quarter-final against the Whites is just three days after the Freiburg game – a match in which the Englishman will play a central role

The striker is the focal point of Vincent Kompany’s attacking play and by far Munich’s top scorer, so those responsible are treating his current situation with caution

Bayern do not want to take any risks

After the injury with the national team, Bayern reacted quickly and scheduled their own medical examinations to avoid taking any unnecessary risks

England national team coach Thomas Tuchel explained on Tuesday: „It’s a minor injury that came out of nowhere. He had to stop training yesterday after 15 minutes.“

Although Kane’s involvement against Freiburg would have its sporting appeal, it clearly falls short of the overriding objective: Kane should definitely be available for the German record champions‘ top match against Real Madrid

It remains to be seen whether this plan will work out, but one thing is clear: at FC Bayern, everything is currently subordinated to the big goal – and at the moment, that means the Champions League above all else.
