Bayern's Kane back but Neuer doubtful for Dortmund match

Thursday, 28 March 2024



BERLIN, Mar 27 (AFP): Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane returned to team training on Wednesday while captain Manuel Neuer remains doubtful ahead of Saturday's home clash with Borussia Dortmund.
Bayern released a statement saying Kane "was able to take part in team training again", having returned to individual training on Monday.
Neuer, who turned 38 on Wednesday, tore a muscle fibre on duty with Germany, missing both of his country's friendlies. Kane injured his ankle after colliding with the goal post in Bayern's 5-2 win over Darmstadt.
The England captain missed England's friendlies against Brazil and Belgium as a result of the injury.
The 30-year-old striker has a history of ankle problems but last missed a match due to injury back in April 2021 with previous club Tottenham. Bayern said Neuer "completed an individual training session" on Wednesday.
