Bayern Munich's coach Vincent Kompany has confirmed that Harry Kane will miss Saturday's Bundesliga match against Freiburg due to an ankle injury. Kane, who missed England's friendly defeat to Japan this week, is expected to be fit for Bayern's Champions League quarter-final clash with Real Madrid next Tuesday.
Kompany stated that Kane felt ankle pain while training with England and won't be available for the Freiburg match. However, he's optimistic about Kane's participation in the Champions League game against Real Madrid. This is a relief for Bayern, as Kane has been instrumental in their season with 48 goals in 40 games.

This setback means Kane won't be available for Saturday's Bundesliga match against Freiburg, but Kompany is optimistic he'll be fit for the big Champions League clash on Tuesday.

Kompany's comments suggest the injury isn't too severe, and he's hopeful Kane will recover in time to face Real Madrid. “It's not great, I'd like him to play against Freiburg, but as things stand today, that won't be possible. Nevertheless, I'm positive about Tuesday,” Kompany added. Kane's absence will be a significant blow to Bayern's attacking prowess, given his impressive form this season with 48 goals in 40 games.

Bayern Munich is looking to take a significant step towards securing their second consecutive Bundesliga title, currently leading second-placed Borussia Dortmund by nine points. However, they'll face a tough challenge without star striker Harry Kane, who's out with an ankle injury, and Nicolas Jackson, who's suspended.
Meanwhile, Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund has confirmed that Raphael Guerreiro will be leaving the club at the end of the season, with Juventus reportedly interested in signing the Portugal full-back. Guerreiro has scored 12 goals in 89 appearances for Bayern since joining from Dortmund three years ago.
“Rapha will be leaving us. It wasn't easy because he's a great lad, has played a lot of good games, is very versatile - a great strength of his,” said Freund.
