Kompany gives positive injury update on Kane: “Things are looking good”

Bayern coach Vincent Kompany says “things are looking good” with regard to Harry Kane’s recovery from injury.

Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany has refused to rule out the possibility of Harry Kane returning from injury before the winter break.

“Things are looking good,” said Kompany at a press conference on Friday. 

“I don’t want to give a timeline and put our medical team under pressure. It could well be that he plays again this year. But everything needs to go perfectly.”

Kane suffered a minor muscle injury in last week’s 1-1 draw with Borussia Dortmund and missed Bayern’s 0-1 DFB-Pokal defeat against Bayer Leverkusen as a result.

He resumed running training on Thursday and completed a 20-minute individual session on Friday.

According to Bild, the striker will definitely miss Saturday’s match against Heidenheim and Tuesday’s Champions League clash with Shakhtar Donetsk, but a return to action against Mainz next week is possible if all goes well.
