Doubts were raised over Kane's participation in his national team's upcoming friendly matches after Bayern Munich manager, Thomas Tuchel, only confirmed that the striker had twisted his ankle.

Subsequently, Bayern said Kane, 30, would still join up with England for international duty. BBC noted the German club's stance.

A statement from the German club said:

"The striker has still travelled to international duty with England and will be treated by the team doctors there, in close consultation with the FC Bayern medical department."
