Harry Kane hopes to be fit for England squad after suffering ankle injury that leaves Bayern Munich sweating on star striker’s availability
Harry Kane is hopeful of being fit for England’s double-header later this month as he recovers from an ankle injury he suffered on Saturday.
The Bayern Munich striker limped off with four minutes remaining of his team’s Bundesliga clash against Bayer Leverkusen following a collision with Amine Adli raising concerns over his availability for Wednesday’s Champions League clash versus Aston Villa and England’s forthcoming Nations League games versus Greece and Finland.
It remains to be seen whether Kane can shake off the problem in time for Wednesday’s trip to Villa Park, with the striker undergoing intensive treatment on the injury in an effort to have the striker available for the game versus Unai Emery’s team amid optimism that the problem is not serious.
Indeed, there are encouraging indications that Kane will be cleared to be selected for interim head coach Lee Carsley’s next squad, which is named on Thursday.
If, as is hoped, Kane is available – the news will arrive as a significant boost to Carsley as he aims to maintain his 100 percent start to increase his chances of being handed the England job on a full-time basis.

Kane has a previous history of ankle problems, although in recent years those issues appear to have alleviated somewhat.
Nevertheless, Bayern medics will be well aware of his ankle issues as they assess his fitness in the coming days.
