Harry Kane Returns to Bayern Munich Squad After Three-Week Absence
Harry Kane makes his return to Bayern Munich's starting lineup against RB Leipzig after recovering from an ankle injury sustained three weeks ago.
Harry Kane, the English striker for Bayern Munich, has returned to the team’s starting lineup for tonight's crucial match against RB Leipzig. This comes after a three-week absence due to an ankle injury sustained during a match against Borussia Dortmund on November 30, 2024.
During Kane's absence, Bayern faced mixed results, including elimination from the DFB-Pokal after a loss to Bayer Leverkusen, a 4-2 Bundesliga victory over Heidenheim, a 2-1 loss to Mainz, and a dominant 5-1 win against Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League.
Head coach Vincent Kompany, in his pre-match press conference, confirmed Kane’s readiness to return. As the lineups were released, it was revealed that Kane would start for Bayern in this critical Bundesliga clash.
Kane, one of the top scorers in the Bundesliga this season, hopes to continue his prolific form and contribute to Bayern's title aspirations.
Bayern's Starting XI: Peretz, Laimer, Upamecano, Kim Min-jae, Davies, Kimmich, Goretzka, Olise, Musiala, Sané, Kane.
