FC Bayern will be missing a megastar vs. Gladbach.
Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany dropped a bomb on fans today — star striker Harry Kane will miss Friday’s game vs. Borussia Mönchengladbach.
“Harry Kane is out tomorrow. He took a knock to his calf and hasn’t recovered yet. It’s just a knock, nothing serious for the foreseeable future, but we might be a day short of him being able to join us. We’re pretty relaxed about it; of course, we would have liked to have Harry, but these things happen,” Kompany said at the pregame press conference (as captured by @iMiaSanMia). “The boys who are playing against Gladbach tomorrow are really looking forward to it. When Harry isn’t there, some of the boys will be hoping they can have their moment.”
Bild added more context to the story, which lays waste to the “load management” tag that was previously put on Kane’s absence from Tuesday’s session (via @iMiaSanMia):
Harry Kane will miss tomorrow’s game against Gladbach because of a knock to his calf he sustained against Dortmund last weekend
Kane missed team training on Tuesday and told @BILD that afternoon: “It’s nothing serious, no problem” – he then resumed training the following day but hasn’t fully recovered yet
Will he be available against Atalanta on Tuesday?
Vincent Kompany: “We expect him to be”
Nicolas Jackson and Serge Gnabry are likely the two players Kompany will consider to fill Kane’s boots. It would seem that Jackson will likely get the nod as he is more of a true No. 9.
