England Star Starts at Villa Park Overcomes Injury Panic
From an injury scare, Harry Kane recovered quickly and will be starting XI for Bayern Munich against Aston Villa on Wednesday. Over the weekend, the England striker had picked up a knock during the 1-1 draw with Bayer Leverkusen, which raised questions about his possibly missing the midweek game. But following more testing and training in the run-up to the game, Kane has been cleared to play by Bayern manager Vincent Kompany.
Including Kane will be quite beneficial for Bayern Munich.
For Bayern, Kane’s presence is a major benefit given the forward has been in red-hot form since he left Tottenham and netts 10 goals in only seven outings. In Bayern’s 9-2 hammering of Dinamo Zagreb to start their Champions League campaign, his prolific scoring including an amazing four-goal haul.
Having eight goals in twelve league games during his tenure at Tottenham, the England captain’s record versus Aston Villa is especially noteworthy. Bayern wants another significant win in their European campaign, hence his presence in the starting XI will be very vital.
The German side will surely be inspired by Kane’s fast recovery and want to participate as they try to keep their outstanding Champions League run.
