Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel is waiting to see if Harry Kane can participate in the upcoming Champions League fixture. The forward suffered an ankle injury during a league match against Darmstadt and missed England's recent friendlies. Kane returned to individual training in Munich last week, according to Sky Sports. The German club faces Real Madrid in the first leg of the quarter-finals on Tuesday.
Tuchel described the striker as a very special player who remains essential to the team's offensive plans. Kane has scored 37 goals in all competitions this season, per official Bundesliga statistics. Club medical staff are working to ensure the captain is available for selection. Bayern currently sit second in the Bundesliga table after a recent defeat to Borussia Dortmund, according to The Guardian. The team remains focused on European competition as their primary chance for silverware this season. A final decision on Kane's inclusion in the starting line-up is expected following a late fitness test at the Allianz Arena.
