Harry Kane set for reunion with former Tottenham teammates in London friendly

Harry Kane is gearing up for a reunion with his former Tottenham Hotspur teammates as Bayern Munich prepares to face Spurs in a pre-season friendly in London on August 10, 2024.

Kane, who missed Bayern Munich's previous friendly against Spurs in South Korea, had been given time off to recover from England's Euro 2024 campaign.

The England captain was absent from the team due to a break intended to ensure his full recovery from a demanding summer.

However, he has resumed training this week and is confirmed to be fit for the upcoming clash.

Reunion in London

The friendly, scheduled to take place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, will mark Kane's first return to his former home ground in Bayern colours.

Despite earlier concerns about his fitness, Bayern Munich director Max Eberl has assured that Kane is ready to participate in the match.

Eberl confirmed that Kane’s injuries were not severe, with the primary challenge being the emotional impact of England’s Euro 2024 final loss.

"Harry is coming back in the middle of next week. The injuries were not that serious; the disappointment over the lost Euro final was greater," Eberl stated. "Of course, he will fly to London with us because, in some way, it's his game too. And then we will prepare him step by step, play DFB-Pokal and have him ready for Bundesliga."

Following the friendly against Tottenham, Bayern Munich will play one more pre-season match before their competitive campaign kicks off.

They will face SSV Ulm in the DFB-Pokal, followed by their Bundesliga opener against Wolfsburg on August 25.

The team is keen to ensure Kane is fully prepared and sharp for these crucial fixtures.

Kane’s return to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is highly anticipated, as it marks his first appearance back at the ground where he spent the majority of his career before moving to Bayern Munich.

The match is expected to draw a lot of memories and emotions from both the players and the fans involved.
