England captain Harry Kane will miss tomorrow’s international fixture after sustaining a knock during his last appearance for Bayern Munich, manager Thomas Tuchel has confirmed. The 31-year-old striker picked up a painful kick during Bayern’s recent Bundesliga match, and the injury has sidelined him temporarily.
Tuchel explained the situation while addressing the media: “Harry will be out, he got a kick in his last match with Bayern. It was too painful to kick a ball and it was too risky to play him already this week. We gave him a chance to rest… and I’m confident that he will be ready, available for the match against Latvia.”
Kane’s absence will undoubtedly be a blow for England, who rely heavily on his leadership and clinical finishing in front of goal. Since joining Bayern Munich from Tottenham Hotspur in 2023, the England skipper has maintained sensational form, scoring consistently in both domestic and European competitions.
