Harry Kane ruled out of Bayern's clash with Gladbach

Bayern Munich will be without top scorer Harry Kane for Friday’s Bundesliga clash with Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Bayern coach Vincent Kompany revealed at the pre-match press conference that, alongside Hiroki Ito and Alphonso Davies, Kane will miss the game due to a calf knock.

“Hiroki Ito is out, Alphonso Davies is out and Harry Kane is out. He got a knock on his calf and hasn't recovered yet,” Kompany said.

"It's just a knock, it's nothing serious for the time being, but we're missing a day maybe for him to be involved. We're pretty relaxed, of course we would have liked Harry to be involved, but these things happen."

On the positive side for the German champions, Kompany confirmed that Manuel Neuer has recovered from injury and is fit to start in goal.

Kompany also noted that Kane’s absence could give other players the chance to step into the spotlight.

“The lads who are involved tomorrow against Gladbach are really looking forward to it. If Harry isn't involved, some of the lads are hoping they can get their moment. We as the staff are also looking forward to being part of that,” he said.

Bayern will hope to have Harry Kane fit for the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 clash with Atalanta on Tuesday.

Speaking to Bulinews.com and other selected media on Wednesday, Germany and FC Bayern legend Jürgen Klinsmann heaped praise on Harry Kane for his achievements since moving to Germany. Read that interview here.
