Harry Kane traveling with Bayern for Atalanta game in Champions League after calf injury

By Canadian Press on March 9, 2026.

MUNICH (AP) — Harry Kane trained following a calf injury and is traveling with the Bayern Munich squad to Italy on Monday ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League game at Atalanta.

Kane missed Friday’s 4-1 win over Borussia Moenchengladbach in the Bundesliga with what coach Vincent Kompany described as a “knock on his calf.” Nicolas Jackson played in his place and scored as Bayern continued its push for the German title.

The England captain’s movement didn’t seem to be affected Monday as he strode out for training and joined teammates in some exercises with the ball.

Bayern heads to Italy aiming to continue a run of reaching at least the Champions League quarterfinals in each of the last six seasons.

Atalanta managed a remarkable turnaround at home in Bergamo in the previous round to eliminate another German team, beating Borussia Dortmund 4-3 on aggregate, but is winless in three Italian league and cup games since then.
