Huge boost for Bayern as Harry Kane trains ahead of Champions League tie

Bayern Munich have received a massive fitness boost ahead of their Champions League knockout meeting with Atalanta. Harry Kane, sidelined with a calf issue, was back on the grass on Monday as the German side completed final preparations. The 32-year-old took part in the full session, moving freely and showing no ill effects of the knock that kept him out of domestic action.

Kane had missed Friday's Bundesliga clash with Borussia Monchengladbach after suffering a blow to his calf. His presence in the final training session suggests he is ready to lead the line in Italy. Bild reports he trained without problems and looked sharp in the session, suggesting he will definitely be available on Tuesday night.

Vincent Kompany refused to guarantee a return, adopting a cautious tone that contrasted with his earlier "nothing serious" assessment. He said: "Hopefully [Kane will return]. If he makes it then great.
