Bayern post video of striker running laps on return to training

Football

Bayern Munich have posted footage of Harry Kane running at their Sabener Strasse training ground as the Bundesliga top scorer recovers from a muscle tear in the back of his right thigh.

The problem caused England captain Kane to miss Bayern’s 1-0 defeat at home to Bayer Leverkusen in the round of 16 of the DFB Cup on Tuesday.

Bayern are unbeaten in the league and four points clear of second-placed Eintracht Frankfurt before Die Roten host Heidenheim on Saturday (2.30pm GMT).

Harry Kane injury latest

Kane sustained the injury during Bayern’s 1-1 draw at Borussia Dortmund in Der Klassiker on November 30, leaving the pitch after 33 minutes.

The 31-year-old former Tottenham talisman missed the last two games of his debut season with the German giants in 2023/24 because of a back injury.

While Kane’s return may not be urgent against third-bottom Heidenheim, his involvement could be crucial when Bayern face Shakhtar Donetsk in Gelsenkirchen in the Champions League on Tuesday (8pm).
