Challenging tasks await FC Bayern after the international break. Top scorer Kane’s injury doesn’t suit the Munich team at all. A colleague is absent again.
Darmstadt – Harry Kane couldn’t really enjoy his personal goal record. After FC Bayern’s easy 5-2 win against promoted team Darmstadt 98, the top striker limped straight out of the stadium with a bad ankle instead of being celebrated by the traveling fans for his 31st goal of the season. “It’s a little painful,” reported Kane, who still traveled to the national team.

The captain is being treated there by the team doctors “in close consultation with the FC Bayern medical department,” the Munich team said on Sunday when they confirmed an undiagnosed injury to his left ankle.
Coach Thomas Tuchel and the club bosses will closely monitor from a distance how the Bayern goal guarantor is doing – and whether he will be used injured. “We are in close coordination. He won’t take any risks,” said sports director Christoph Freund and added: “We hope that it’s not that bad and that he’ll be back on the pitch soon.”
Kane’s use against Dortmund and Arsenal?
A loss of the 100 million euro purchase would be untimely for the Munich team, as the classic against Borussia Dortmund is coming up immediately after the international break. The quarter-final duels in the premier class with FC Arsenal will follow in April, in which Bayern will probably have their last chance to win the title this season.
“He sprained his ankle and had to completely cool his ankle with ice. We hope that the moment of shock remains,” said Tuchel on Saturday after the record champions’ successful performance against the bottom of the Bundesliga table. “If Harry leaves the field voluntarily there is a slight cause for concern because he always wants to score goals.” In addition, Kane has had to take a break several times in his career due to an ankle injury.
31 goals are in a class of their own
Kane is urgently needed for the demanding tasks. He has already not only set a personal career record with 31 Bundesliga goals, but has also broken Uwe Seeler’s age-old record as the most successful debutant. Seeler scored 30 goals in 30 games in the premiere season of 1963/64, Kane has already scored one more in just 25 games.
“It’s unbelievable and sensational when you’re in a new country for the first time and then you hit it like that. He’s a really good striker and a really good guy who’s doing a lot of good for our team, and not just because of his goals,” praised Freund Goalscorer. The Munich team gave new national player Aleksandar Pavlovic the all-clear after his head injury. On the other hand, Raphael Guerreiro is out for the third time this season with a muscle injury.
Kane, who came a step closer to Robert Lewandowski’s Bundesliga record (41) with his goal shortly before half-time, sustained his injury in the final phase without any influence from the opponent. In the hunt for another goal, the England international hit the post and then rolled over in the goal net.
Musiala also delights Darmstadt’s coach
It was the only downside to what was otherwise a successful football afternoon from Bayern’s point of view, which was particularly characterized by double goalscorer Jamal Musiala. The 21-year-old was full of enthusiasm and excited Tuchel. “He has reached a very good level and is decisive for us in the game. He feels comfortable and is fit. The decision-making between dribbling and passing is very good at the moment,” the Bayern coach praised the outstanding midfielder.
Even Darmstadt’s coach Torsten Lieberknecht went into raptures. “If you’re not directly involved as the opposing team, it’s a real pleasure to watch the boy. Germany is lucky that we have such a player. With him we can become European champions,” said Lieberknecht.
Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer praised Musiala as a “difference player. He is difficult to stop, even in the box,” said Neuer. He himself is about to return to the DFB goal for the international matches in France and against the Netherlands. “I’m concentrating on myself, on my performance and will give my all again for the national team. The coach will then decide,” said the 37-year-old goalkeeper about his chances of becoming number one again after the long break. Neuer was most recently in action at the 2022 Winter World Cup.
The win at the bottom rounded off a great week for him after becoming a father for the first time just days before the game. “Of course you can’t compare that with sport. That’s why it’s the greatest happiness in my personal life,” said Neuer about the birth of his son. This should now also inspire him in the DFB jersey.
