England Captain Ruled Out Of International Duty

Kane injury update: Bayern Munich provide latest news

England captain ruled out of international duty

Star striker to miss friendlies against Brazil and Italy

England captain Harry Kane is out with an injury that might deny him the chance to feature in the friendly games against Brazil on March 23 and Italy on March 27. The Tottenham Hotspur striker suffered an ankle injury in Bayern Munich's 2-0 win over Wolfsburg on Saturday and was forced to leave the field in the 64th minute. Kane has since returned to England and is expected to undergo further tests to determine the extent of the injury.

Bayern Munich have released a statement saying that Kane has suffered a left ankle injury but will still join up with England for international duty. However, it is unclear whether he will be fit enough to play in either of the friendlies.

This is a blow for England manager Gareth Southgate, who is already without several key players for the upcoming friendlies. Manchester City's Raheem Sterling is out with a hamstring injury, while Arsenal's Bukayo Saka is suspended. Southgate will be hoping that Kane can recover in time for the friendlies, as he is a key part of England's plans for the 2024 European Championships.

Kane has been in good form for Bayern Munich this season, scoring 15 goals in 24 appearances. He has also been in good form for England, scoring four goals in his last four appearances. His absence from the friendlies would be a big blow for both England and Bayern Munich.
