Bayern Munich name Harry Kane in Champions League squad for Real Madrid clash after injury scare

Bayern Munich have included Harry Kane in their squad for the Champions League quarter-final first leg against Real Madrid .

Kane had emerged as a major doubt for Tuesday’s clash in Spain after being forced to miss England’s friendly defeat to Japan last week with what Thomas Tuchel described as a “minor injury” .

“It’s a minor injury from basically out of nothing,” the England boss explained pre-match.

“He had to step out of training yesterday after 15 minutes.

No chance to be involved, not even today.

He is being further assessed now."
Bayern manager Vincent Kompany then confirmed last Friday that Kane had suffered an ankle injury that ruled him out of the Bundesliga clash against Freiburg.

However, Kompany was always confident that the England international would not be sidelined for too long.

"Harry trained well until Sunday, then he felt something in his ankle while with the national team,” Kompany said during a news conference.

“That will have an impact on tomorrow's game, he won't be available.

"Nevertheless, I'm positive about Tuesday.

It's not great, I'd like him to play against Freiburg, but as things stand today that won't be possible."
In a boost for Bayern, Kane took part in Monday’s training session and has travelled with the squad out to Madrid.

Kompany will likely provide an update on the striker when he faces the press in Spain on Monday evening, with Real Madrid superstar Vinicius Junior heaping praise on the Bayern No.9.

"He is a born goalscorer.

He is a great player,” the Brazilian said in the pre-match press conference.

“But Bayern have so many good players, who switch positions and play very well.

It's a great team.

If Kane does not play, whoever plays in his position will do very well."
