Oct 2, V7N - Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane remains uncertain for their Champions League match against Aston Villa on Wednesday, according to coach Vincent Kompany. Kane, who recently scored four goals in Bayern's 9-2 win over Dinamo Zagreb, is recovering from a knock he sustained during Bayern's 1-1 draw against Bayer Leverkusen. Kompany said Kane trained well but the final decision will be made closer to the match.

Despite Kane's potential absence, Kompany is eager for his team to embrace the challenge of playing against an in-form Aston Villa, managed by Unai Emery. Kompany acknowledged Villa’s strong form and the historic significance of their return to the Champions League after 40 years. He also expressed confidence in Bayern’s ability to handle big European nights.

Serge Gnabry, reflecting on his return to England, is excited about the match, praising the atmosphere in English stadiums. He highlighted Villa's defensive strength and consistency, emphasizing that Bayern must maintain high intensity and dominate the game to create scoring opportunities.

This match will mark the second time these two teams meet in Europe, the first being Villa's 1-0 win in the 1982 European Cup final. Bayern will aim to continue their dominant form, knowing Villa will provide a tough challenge.
