Harry Kane had to be replaced in the Champions League game against Celtic Glasgow at halftime. The striker threatens to fall out in the top game against Eintracht Frankfurt. But who could replace the English striker at FC Bayern?
FC Bayern Munich is concerned about striker Harry Kane. The 31-year-old Englishman had to play in the Champions League game of the FC Bayern Munich against Celtic Glasgow can be replaced at halftime. Because of “problems with the calf”, as the center forward after the 1-1, which was enough for the German football record champion to the round of 16. Sports board member Max Eberl, on the other hand, spoke of ankle problems.
“Press your fingers” for Kane
“Harry played with problems,” said Eberl. He could not sprint and compete properly in the first half. Kane almost scored the 1-0 when he shot the crossbar. “Hopefully it will last until Sunday,” said Eberl about a possible quick return of Kane.
Kane announced that he was made a scan at night. “Now it’s time to keep your fingers crossed,” said the 31-year-old about a possible effort in the top game on Sunday (5.30 p.m., live on the radio portage) against the third in the table Eintracht Frankfurt. According to a message from the record champions, it is a bleeding of the calf, Kane must now be shorter in the coming days.
Who should replace Kane at Bayern?
Before his replacement, Kane had two good chances of leading Bayern. A failure of the top striker (39 goal participations in 31 games) would be difficult for the record champions to compensate. Because FC Bayern still has no back-up for the Englishman, on the contrary: the storm talent Mathys Tel was even handed over to Tottenham Hotspur during the winter break, where Tel already met in the FA-Cup.
When Kane was injured at the end of last year, it was clear that the 31 -year -old is difficult to replace in this Munich squad – the striker was more painful from game to game: against Bayer Leverkusen flew the record cup winner from the trophy, in Mainz also set the only defeat in the Bundesliga.
Incidentally, it was different for Kane’s predecessor: When Robert Lewandowski failed in recent years, the Bayern bosses reacted quickly: Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting or Sandro Wagner was mostly an adequate replacement.
Not a real Kane-back-up at Bayern FC
But despite the latest injury to Kanes – FC Bayern did not sign a real striker in winter. So who should replace the top scorer last season? Thomas Müller? The Bayern veteran recently came at times, but the 35-year-old is far away from his injection and danger of scoring from his best times, and Müller played in Mainz in Mainz-the experiment failed.
There were still the possibility to let Serge Gnabry or Jamal Musiala play ahead, but both are not real strikers – and then there would be no creative power in the offensive midfield. In the game against Glasgow, Kompany sent Kompany Gnabry to the storm center, which acted happily. Michael Olise has never played as a center forward. Then there would be Leroy Sané. The 29-year-old recently performed significantly better performances, but a real nine is not Sané either.
How long does Kane fail at Bayern? FCB trainer Company remains vague
The use of Kane against Glasgow was already on the brink, the striker missed the final training session. Kane gave the green light before the game. “He is experienced. We trust his assessment,” said coach Vincent Kompany.
After the game, the Belgian was not very optimistic about the use of Kane against Frankfurt: “We will see that. It is a bit of a shame that Harry is out. But I can’t say how long and what he has in all . ” Kompany has time until Sunday to react to a possible failure of Kanes and look for alternatives.
