There is a sense of anticipation and concern within Bayern Munich, following the absence of their star player Harry Kane from Saturday’s Bundesliga match against Freiburg due to injury, after he also missed two friendly matches for England.
This puts the Bavarian side in a difficult position ahead of the highly anticipated clash against Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals, with the first leg taking place next Tuesday at the Santiago Bernabéu in the Spanish capital.
According to the Madrid-based newspaper ‘AS’, Bayern Munich are holding their breath following the injury, which England manager Thomas Tuchel described as a ‘minor issue’ sustained by Kane just 15 minutes into training. It is a brief explanation that has offered little reassurance.
