MUNICH, Germany — Harry Kane, the captain of the England national football team and lead striker for Bayern Munich, participated in a team training session on Monday, April 6, 2026. This development comes as the German club prepares for the first leg of their Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) Champions League quarter-final match against the Spanish giants, Real Madrid. The prolific forward had been sidelined recently due to a minor ankle injury sustained while representing his country during the international break in late March.
The injury was significant enough to force the 32-year-old to withdraw from England’s friendly match against Japan at Wembley Stadium in London last Tuesday. Following that withdrawal, Thomas Tuchel, the head coach of the England national team, described the issue as a minor complaint. Despite the optimistic outlook, the injury kept the striker out of the Bayern Munich squad for their most recent German Bundesliga domestic league match, which resulted in a 3-2 victory over Freiburg on Saturday, April 4, 2026.
During the Monday morning session at the club’s training facility in Munich, which was partially open to members of the international press, the striker appeared to be in good spirits and moved comfortably. His presence is a vital boost for the German side, as Okay News reports that Kane has maintained an incredible scoring record this season. The forward has netted 48 goals in 40 appearances across all competitions, including 10 goals in nine matches specifically within the Champions League tournament.
The head coach of Bayern Munich, Vincent Kompany, is taking a cautious approach regarding the player’s readiness for the high-stakes European fixture. The Belgian manager indicated that he will wait until the evening of Tuesday, April 7, 2026, to decide if the England striker will be included in the starting lineup. The match remains a pivotal moment for the season of the German club as they seek to overcome the record 15-time European champions, Real Madrid, at the Allianz Arena in Munich.
