Will Kane play against Real Madrid? Huge injury update
Getty Images SportApr 06, 2026 18:30+05:30Bayern Munich are facing a race against time to have Harry Kane leading the line for their monumental Champions League quarter-final first leg against Real Madrid. The England captain has been struggling with an ankle issue that kept him out of domestic action at the weekend, leaving fans and coaching staff anxious ahead of the trip to the Santiago Bernabeu.The race against time for Bayern's top scorerThe 32-year-old goal machine has been a revelation for the German giants with a staggering 48 goals and five assists in just 40 appearances across all competitions this season, but his participation in the trip to Madrid remains in doubt after he missed Bayern's 3-2 victory over Freiburg at the weekend. Kane sustained the injury to his ankle during the international break with England. Training return sparks hopeHowever, Vincent Kompany received a massive boost on Monday, with Sky Germany reporting that Kane was able to participate in the team's final training session. Sporting director Max Eberl also offered a glimmer of hope following the weekend's domestic action, stating: "The physios are working on it. He is constantly on-site and receiving treatment. We believe that it will work out."Despite these encouraging updates, the exact nature of Kane's injury has been shrouded in mystery, leading to suggestions that the Bavarian giants might be playing a clever game of poker with their Spanish opponents. However, Bayern have now confirmed that Kane will be in the travelling squad to face Madrid at the Bernabeu.Unwavering confidence in the talismanWithin the dressing room, the belief in Kane's robustness is absolute, with team-mate Joshua Kimmich dismissing any fears of his absence against Madrid by insisting, "he'll even play there in a wheelchair. I expect him to be fit and on the pitch on Tuesday." This steadfast confidence is shared by manager Kompany, who noted that his "gut feeling is that he'll make it." Kompany has been meticulously managing his squad to ensure maximum freshness for the trip to the Spanish capital. To mitigate any further injury risks before facing the record European champions, the Belgian tactician rested several key players over the weekend, carefully limiting stars like Jamal Musiala and Alphonso Davies to brief substitute appearances.ENJOYED THIS STORY?Add GOAL.com as a preferred source on Google to see more of our reporting(C)Getty ImagesThe psychological battle ahead of the Bernabeu clashB...
