FC Bayern Munich will most likely have to be without their top scorer Harry Kane in the penultimate game of the year. The Englishman has started training with the ball again, but a comeback on Saturday (3:30 p.m. in the t-online live ticker) in the away game at Mainz 05 probably comes too early. “He’s working fully professionally for it, but time is short,” said sports director Max Eberl after Schalke’s 5-1 win in the Champions League against Shakhtar Donetsk and added: “Probably not.”
Kane tore a muscle fiber in his right thigh in the game at Borussia Dortmund (1-1) on November 30th and was substituted in the 33rd minute. Since then he has already missed the games in the DFB Cup against Bayer Leverkusen (0-1) and in the Bundesliga against 1. FC Heidenheim (4-2). Also on Tuesday he was one of nine injured players who were missing coach Vincent Kompany.
It felt like he dribbled through ten players. It was like Mario Kart when you get a star and no one touches it

While FC Bayern was preparing for the Champions League game on Tuesday evening in Gelsenkirchen against Shakhtar Donetsk (9 p.m. in the live ticker on t-online), Harry Kane took another step towards his comeback. The sorely missed striker completed a training session with the ball in wet and cold Munich on the same day, as the German record champions announced on social media.

A new face on the bench at FC Bayern: According to Sky information, 17-year-old center forward Jonah Kusi-Asare is part of the German record champions’ squad for the home game against 1. FC Heidenheim on Saturday. The Swedish talent could get his first chance in the professional team. Bayern coach Vincent Kompany wants to have another alternative in attack after the absences of center forward Harry Kane (torn hamstring) and Serge Gnabry (knee problems).
Kusi-Asare only moved from AIK Solna to Munich on February 1st. FC Bayern paid 4.5 million euros for the young attacker. An additional two million could follow as bonus payments. Since his arrival, the 1.96 meter tall striker has played mainly for the U19 and U23 teams, where he has repeatedly stood out for his strong performances. In twelve games this season, Kusi-Asare scored three goals and prepared two more goals.

In the preseason, Eric Dier was part of the regular staff. Under coach Vincent Kompany, however, he has only played 43 minutes in the Bundesliga so far this season. As “tz” reports, Al Jazira from the United Arab Emirates has its eye on the defender. The club wants to sign Dier on a free transfer next summer at the latest.
