Kane ruled out of Bayern's next game, denting record bid

Harry Kane will miss Bayern Munich's upcoming match against Borussia Monchengladbach, a setback for the England captain as he closes in on the Bundesliga single-season scoring mark. The 32-year-old's absence interrupts his pursuit of the record. Vincent Kompany outlined the situation in his pre-match press conference: "Hiroki Ito is out, Alphonso Davies is out and Harry Kane is out.

He got a knock on his calf and hasn't recovered yet. It's just a knock, it's nothing serious for the time being, but we'd need maybe another a day for him to be involved. We're pretty relaxed. Of course we would have liked Harry to be involved, but these things happen." Kane sits 11 goals short of the 41-goal mark set by Robert Lewandowski in the 2020-21 campaign, a total the Polish forward achieved in only 29 games.

When asked if he was aiming to beat Lewandowski's record, Kane said: "For sure. I've got to keep doing what I'm doing. There's still a lot of games to play. I need to try and be consistent over that period.
