Has Harry Kane recovered from back injury? Bayern Munich striker delivers fitness update ahead of bid to win elusive major trophy in 2024-25

England captain Kane <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/explained-why-44-goal-harry-kane-subbed-bayern-munich-dramatic-champions-league-semi-final-collapse-real-madrid/blt8fdb91b93813c7d5" target="_blank">endured a frustrating finish to his debut season in Germany</a>, with major silverware falling agonisingly out of reach once again. That theme continued at international level as the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/harry-kane-ready-fight-again-england-shirt-euro-2024-criticism-trophy-failure-bayern-munich-star-heartbroken-spain/bltd80dc56d227f96cf" target="_blank">Three Lions suffered defeat to Spain in the final of Euro 2024</a>.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Kane <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/uefa-rule-change-harry-kane-one-hand-golden-boot-bulk-order-top-goalscorer-prize-euro-2024-england-final-spain/blt302369b6176b4608" target="_blank">claimed a share of the Golden Boot</a> at that competition, but <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/gary-lineker-explains-why-harry-kane-england-retirement-record-breaking-66-goal-striker-horrible-dilemma-euro-2024/blt64e2f9222b08bf09" target="_blank">did not look entirely comfortable throughout</a> – with a back problem carried into the tournament. The 31-year-old is now back in the Bayern squad – <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/harry-kane-heartfelt-message-spurs-fans-return-north-london-bayern-munich/blt8994bf2930fbc863" target="_blank">figuring in a friendly clash with former club Tottenham</a> – and feels raring to go in 2024-25.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The prolific frontman has told Bayern’s <a href="https://x.com/FCBayernEN/status/1822308480364994623 " target="_blank">official media channels</a> when asked if his back is fully recovered: “Obviously I had that issue towards the end of last season but throughout the Euros it was fine and hasn’t bothered me. So hopefully that one stays away. And I’ve been doing a lot of work in my own time to make sure that stays away. And that’s part of football, the schedules are tough and you have to go through a high physical demand, so you’re always going to have moments where you have to fight through stuff. But so far I feel fit, really ready to go and in good shape.”

WHAT KANE SAID

Kane hit 44 goals for Bayern across all competitions last season, but was <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/everyone-laughing-england-harry-kane-selfish-robert-lewandowski-record-bayern-munich-trophy-bid/blt802d3f428a3edcce" target="_blank">still unable to get his hands on an elusive trophy</a>. The intention is to start righting those wrongs, with Bayern now working under the guidance of new manager Vincent Kompany.
