Harry Kane could make a timely return for Bayern Munich in their upcoming Bundesliga match against Leipzig on Friday. Bayern’s head coach, Vincent Kompany, confirmed on Thursday that the striker has resumed training after recovering from a hamstring injury he sustained during the 1-1 draw at Borussia Dortmund on November 30.
Kompany refrained from confirming whether Kane would start, emphasizing the importance of the final training session that day. “If everything goes well, he’ll definitely play a role tomorrow,” he added.
In addition to Kane, Alphonso Davies has also returned to training, and Serge Gnabry is working on recovering from a knee injury.
Bayern Munich has struggled in Kane’s absence, being eliminated from the German Cup by defending champions Bayer Leverkusen and suffering their first Bundesliga defeat of the season to Mainz last weekend.
“We’ve already said that we can’t replace Harry one for one. Harry has this unbelievable feel for where he should be in the box,” Kompany remarked. “He’s also been a huge help defensively. He’s one of the best in the world in the box – that’s where he makes the difference. There aren’t many players who can do that.”
Kane has scored 20 goals in 19 games for Bayern across all competitions.
