Despite this being a friendly, the captain’s absence at Wembley came as a shock—especially since he had already missed the match against Uruguay and was preparing for Japan.

The news of Kane’s injury couldn’t have come at a worse time: in exactly seven days, Bayern face a blockbuster Champions League clash against Real Madrid, and it remains uncertain whether the Englishman will be fully fit for that showdown.

Reminder: Bayern have set their sights on signing Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden.
