Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane remains sidelined due to a persistent back injury, raising concerns for England’s Euro 2024 squad selection.
Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel confirmed that star striker Harry Kane will miss the final Bundesliga match against Hoffenheim due to a back injury. Kane, who has been receiving treatment from his personal doctor, was forced off during the Champions League semi-final loss to Real Madrid after experiencing severe back pain.
Tuchel faced criticism for substituting Kane in the crucial match, which saw Bayern exit the tournament following a late collapse. The manager clarified that Kane’s back “froze up” during the game, making it impossible for him to continue.
Kane’s injury woes have also affected his international prospects. England manager Gareth Southgate is closely monitoring the situation as he prepares to announce the preliminary squad for Euro 2024. Despite the setback, Kane, England’s captain and record-breaking goal scorer, is expected to be a key figure if fit.
Kane concludes his first season with Bayern Munich with an impressive 44 goals in 45 appearances but ends the season without any silverware due to his injury. The severity of his condition remains undisclosed, leaving fans and officials anxious about his readiness for the upcoming European Championship.
