'He'd play in a wheelchair': Bayern back Kane for Real return
Bayern Munich are confident striker Harry Kane will return from an ankle injury in time for Tuesday's Champions League quarter-final first leg against Real Madrid.
Kane missed Saturday's come-from-behind 3-2 Bundesliga win at Freiburg, the fifth match the England captain has missed in his past seven for club and country.
The 32-year-old missed both of England's March friendlies, with coach Thomas Tuchel saying it was only a "minor" complaint.
Six-time Champions League winners Bayern are among the favourites for the competition but have not beaten Real Madrid since 2012.
Kane has a history of ankle injuries but German media speculated the forward was rested against Freiburg with Real in mind.
Speaking of Kane's comeback, Bayern midfielder Joshua Kimmich told reporters: "He'd play in a wheelchair. I expect him to be fit on Tuesday."
"The physios are working on it. He's been at the training ground constantly, receiving treatment. We believe that it'll work," Bayern sporting director Max Eberl told reporters after Saturday's match.
"I'm generally a positive person," Eberl added.
Bayern coach Vincent Kompany said after the match: "I have a feeling he'll make it."
With Bayern on track for another Bundesliga title and through to the final four in the German Cup, Kane is crucial to their Champions League hopes.
He has 48 goals in 40 matches in all competitions this season.
After the match, Kane posted a video to social media congratulating his teammates on the victory, saying: "Wow, what a comeback. Credit to the boys, that wasn't easy -- what mentality, what a win (and) a great away three points."
