Should FC Bayern be worried? Harry Kane will miss England’s friendly against Japan due to an injury sustained in training
Several English media outlets have reported that national team coach Thomas Tuchel has withdrawn the 32-year-old from the squad at short notice, stating that the attacker picked up a minor injury in training and will be rested as a precaution
As a result, Kane will not play in England’s second test match, although he was supposed to play a central role in attack again after his short break
The development is likely to be closely monitored at Säbener Straße, as FC Bayern are about to enter the decisive weeks of the season
Kane is urgently needed, especially in the Champions League, where the record champions will face Real Madrid in the quarter-finals on April 7 and 15 – in these duels, the Englishman is the central figure in the attacking play
Those responsible will therefore do everything in their power not to take any risks and avoid a possible aggravation of the injury
Load management already an issue
Kane had already taken a break in the first test match against Uruguay in order to manage his workload. Former Bayern coach and current England national team coach Thomas Tuchel had deliberately split up the training session in order to allow players with a lot of playing time to recover
The Bayern striker is one of the busiest professionals in Europe and has seen a huge amount of playing time this season
It is therefore all the more important that the superstar’s current injury does not have any major consequences. For FC Bayern, the health of the top goalscorer is the top priority – especially in view of the title decisions for the German record champions in the coming weeks.
