Bayern Munich's star player, Harry Kane, has been a beacon of hope in an otherwise challenging campaign for the team. However, his chances of facing Arsenal in the upcoming Champions League match have taken a hit due to an injury scare.
Kane's hopes were dashed when he was forced off injured during Bayern Munich's most recent match. The incident occurred during their 5-2 victory over Darmstadt on Saturday when he collided with the post while trying to get to a cross. The England captain appeared visibly distressed as he left the pitch.
Kane has been lone warrior for Bayern in attack this season
The former Tottenham Hotspur striker has been instrumental for Bayern this season, scoring 31 Bundesliga goals in his debut campaign. His side is set to face his old rivals Arsenal in the quarter-finals of Europe's elite competition - The Champions League.
Kane found the net during Saturday’s game against Darmstadt, putting Thomas Tuchel's side ahead with a scoreline of 2-1 against the division’s bottom team. His 31st strike marked a record-breaking goal for any player’s debut season in Germany’s top football division and also set a personal league best for Kane himself.
Thomas Tuchel unlikely to take chance with Kane’s fitness
Unfortunately for Bayern Munich and its fans, Kane was taken off injured soon after scoring that record-breaking goal due to his collision with the goal post. Post-match comments from Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel indicated concern about Kane’s condition but did not provide definitive information about whether or not he would be fit enough to play against Arsenal on April 9th.
Thomas Tuchel, Bayern Munich manager, said:
"He collided with the post and twisted his ankle a bit - he had his ankle iced. There's still no diagnosis, we have to wait. I hope it's nothing bad."
As it stands now, both fans and teammates are anxiously awaiting news about Harry Kane's fitness status ahead of their crucial tie against Arsenal. It remains uncertain whether or not one of this season’s brightest stars will be able to participate in the upcoming Champions League match.
Harry Kane's injury scare has cast a shadow over Bayern Munich's preparations for their Champions League quarter-final tie against Arsenal. The team and fans alike are hoping for a speedy recovery so that he can continue his stellar performance this season.
