Is Harry Kane fit again? Bayern Munich star gets ‘important’ message from Vincent Kompany as 20-goal striker bids to reclaim starting berth after injury

Champions League

RB Leipzig

Sporting CP

Feyenoord

Bayern Munich

<p>Vincent Kompany has been without his leading goalscorer since seeing Kane forced off 33 minutes into a Klassiker clash with Borussia Dortmund on November 30. There were suggestions that a muscle complaint could bring the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/harry-kane-2024-over-bayern-munich-boss-vincent-kompany-update-injured-20-goal-striker-england-captain-irreplaceable/blt5473e2eb2a3aadb7" target="_blank">31-year-old’s efforts in 2024 to a close</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Bayern have one more game to take in his year, before reaching the winter break in Germany, with RB Leipzig being welcomed to the Allianz Arena on Saturday. Kane has been <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/video-harry-kane-back-scoring-goals-bayern-munich-injury-boost-2024-over-prolific-england-striker/blt0b3a64da9da8df6d" target="_blank">training again during the build-up to that contest</a>, which suggests that he is back in contention for selection.</p><center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Good to see some faces back in training! 🙌<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/FCBayern?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#FCBayern</a>&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/MiaSanMia?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#MiaSanMia</a>&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Training?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Training</a> <a href="https://t.co/6VmQTlyw26">pic.twitter.com/6VmQTlyw26</a></p>— FC Bayern (@FCBayernEN) <a href="https://twitter.com/FCBayernEN/status/1868741030683853150?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 16, 2024</a></blockquote>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Kompany is giving little away when it comes to his plans, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/harry-kane-told-why-isnt-outstanding-despite-goal-record-ex-arsenal-bayern-munich-star-assessing-bid-match-cristiano-ronaldo-lionel-messi-numbers/bltfef40729c848a017" target="_blank">no risks about to be taken on a player of Kane’s importance</a> – with Bayern not due to be back in action again until January 11 after playing host to Leipzig.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Bayern’s head coach has told reporters when asked about a potential return for Kane: “I don't want to say now whether he will start or not. Today's training is important. If everything goes well then hopefully he'll play a role. It was good to have Harry and Phonzy [Alphonso Davies] back in training. Stani [Josip Stanisic] as well, even though he probably won't be there yet.</p><p>"We said previously that we couldn't replace Harry Kane like-for-like. Harry has this incredible sense of where he needs to be in the box. He's also helped us a lot in defence. He's one of the best in the world in the box - that's where he makes the difference. There aren't many players who can do that."</p>

WHAT KOMPANY SAID

<p>With Leipzig sitting just six points back on leaders Bayern in the Bundesliga table, Kompany will be desperate to see Kane play some part in a crucial contest. The England international has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/harry-kane-needs-own-ball-bag-hat-trick-hero-leaving-bayern-munich-short-training-equipment-fourth-treble-season/bltfaa8018f0dd83d63" target="_blank">hit 20 goals this season</a>, with that impressive haul <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/no-silverware-harry-kane-trophy-cabinet-hat-trick-balls-prolific-bayern-munich-england-striker-revealing-son-collection-good-use/bltaf84f2d0cf5b4675" target="_blank">including four hat-tricks</a>.</p>
