Harry Kane Out Of Bundesliga Finale For Back Injury Treatment
Harry Kane will miss Bayern Munich's final game of the Bundesliga season after leaving Germany to undergo treatment for a back problem. Kane has scored 36 league goals in his debut campaign in Bavaria, though he will finish another season without silverware, with Bayer Leverkusen clinching their first top-flight title.
He will end the 2023-24 season five goals short of Robert Lewandowski's single-season goal record of 41, set in 2019-20, after sustaining a back injury. Ahead of Saturday's trip to Hoffenheim, departing Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel revealed Kane had been struggling before the second leg of their Champions League semi-final loss to Real Madrid.
"Harry is being treated by his personal doctor and he is not here anymore," Tuchel said. "He won't be with us. In Madrid, it was already touch and go."
Kane missed Bayern's 2-0 win over Wolfsburg in their penultimate game of 2023-24 last week, with Lovro Zvonarek and Leon Goretzka scoring in his absence. The news will cause concern for Gareth Southgate, who is set to name his preliminary England squad for Euro 2024 on Tuesday.
The Three Lions' final squad for the tournament, which is being held in Kane's new home of Germany, will be revealed after they face Iceland in a friendly on June 7.
A massive thanks to our fans who have made me and my family feel so welcome and at home this season. Was great to spend a nice moment with the family on the pitch and thank our incredible home fans after a good win. We'll look to finish on a high note next weekend. #MiaSanMia
