England fans could be in for a big boost ahead of the upcoming international break as the extent of Harry Kane’s injury is yet to be determined.

Bayern Munich played out a thrilling 3-3 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday and the match saw the Englishman substituted in the second half after a collision that required treatment on his right thigh, The Independent reports.

The 31-year-old left the field before being replaced by Mathys Tel, but the signs of him being fit for England did not look good.

However, Bayern Munich have confirmed that the extent of Kane’s injury is not yet clear, while also stating that Dayot Upamecano and Mathys Tel will not join the French national team due to their fitness issues.

The Bundesliga giants said via Fabrizio Romano: “Harry Kane will be examined by the English doctors as the final diagnosis is still pending.”

Kane will meet the rest of the England squad ahead of their UEFA Nations League matches against Finland and Greece. More information about his injury will be announced later this week.

The availability of Harry Kane would be a huge boost for England

Although England won’t need Kane to beat Finland and Greece, the striker’s presence is always welcomed in the Three Lions camp and the Bayern Munich star will be looking to add to his legacy with the national team.

Last time out was the former Tottenham star’s 100th appearance for England and he marked the occasion by scoring a goal against Finland.

That took his tally for the Three Lions to 68 and the coming matches will provide another opportunity to add to this should the 31-year-old be deemed fit.
