Bayern’s Kane back but Neuer doubtful for Dortmund match

Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane re­joined team training on Wednesday after recovering from an ankle injury sustained during a match against Darmstadt.

 

Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane returned to team training on Wednesday while captain Manuel Neuer remains doubtful ahead of Saturday’s home clash with Borussia Dortmund.

 

Bayern released a state­ment saying Kane “was able to take part in team training again”, having returned to individual training on Monday.

 

Neuer, who turned 38 on Wednesday, tore a muscle fibre on duty with Germany, missing both of his country’s friendlies.

 

Kane injured his ankle after colliding with the goal post in Bayern’s 5-2 win over Darmstadt.

 

The England captain missed England’s friendlies against Bra­zil and Belgium as a result of the injury.

 

The 30-year-old striker has a history of ankle problems but last missed a match due to injury back in April 2021 with previous club Tottenham.

 

Bayern said Neuer “com­pleted an individual training session” on Wednesday.

 

Aleksandar Pavlovic, who was called up to the Germany squad for the first time in March but missed both matches due to tonsilitis, also trained individual­ly. — AFP
