Harry Kane has joined the England squad at St George’s Park while awaiting a full diagnosis on his injury. The striker was substituted in the 72nd minute during Bayern Munich’s 3-3 draw at Frankfurt on Sunday, after requiring treatment on his right leg. Kane traveled to England from Frankfurt following the match, but a more precise diagnosis is still pending.
Bayern confirmed Kane’s travel to England and stated, “A more precise diagnosis is still pending,” after the striker was examined by the Football Association’s doctors upon his arrival. Bayern’s head coach, Vincent Kompany, mentioned post-match that it is too early to determine the severity of Kane’s injury, hoping it’s nothing serious.
This injury concern is the second Kane has faced recently, as he was also a doubt for a match against Aston Villa last Wednesday due to an ankle issue sustained in a previous game. Despite the injury worries, England’s interim boss Lee Carsley has called up Kane for the upcoming Nations League fixtures against Greece and Finland.
As one of three centre-forwards in the squad alongside Ollie Watkins and Dominic Solanke, Captain Kane’s presence in the team is crucial. The English national team will now have to await further updates on Kane’s injury status as they prepare for their upcoming matches.
