Harry Kane's participation in Bayern Munich's second leg Champions League tie against Celtic is in doubt due to a facial injury sustained during the weekend. Bayern manager Vincent Kompany will assess Kane's condition on Tuesday. While Kompany remains optimistic, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers and goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel both anticipate Kane's presence on the pitch.
Kane sat out Bayern’s training session on Monday as he recovered from the effects of a facial injury, sustained during the weekend draw with Bayer Leverkusen. The Bayern manager, Vincent Kompany, said he would wait until Tuesday before deciding whether the England captain can line up against the Scottish champions.
Record crowd a sign that many Irish fans now care more about the League of Ireland than the national team“When you’re playing against teams who are used to dominating and scoring lots of goals in their domestic league, then you have a team who are always dangerous when they get forward,” he said. Rodgers readily admitted Bayern were firm favourites but it is a sign of Celtic’s development at Champions League level that they arrived with spring in step. Regardless of the outcome, Rodgers can look back on this European campaign as one containing tangible progress. He has challenged his players to leave Munich with no regrets.
The key Rodgers decision is also in attack. Daizen Maeda’s success in a central role in the closing stages of the first leg may mean the Japanese starts in that role, with Irish striker Adam Idah left out and Jota on the left wing. Celtic’s alternative is to retain Idah and field Maeda on the left. – GuardianAoife Mannion excited about what Carla Ward can bring to the Ireland team’s table
