No time for a victory lap
Harry Kane lifted the 2026 Ballon d’Or on Monday night in London. By Wednesday he could be back in a Bayern Munich shirt. Interim coach Aaron Danks confirmed the striker will train on Tuesday afternoon and be available for the German Cup tie against Magdeburg, according to L’Équipe.
The match kicks off at 8.45pm local time. Magdeburg, a second-division side, are the opponent after Bayern beat Osnabrück 4-1 in the previous round. Danks is in charge because Vincent Kompany is absent.

Whether he starts is the open question. Danks only said he would be available, which leaves room for a place on the bench.
