Bayern Munich received a boost as striker Harry Kane resumed training following an ankle injury, raising hopes for his availability in the upcoming match against Borussia Dortmund on Saturday.

The 30-year-old forward, sidelined after sustaining an ankle injury during Bayern's victory over Darmstadt, participated in an individual training session at the club's training ground on Monday, as confirmed by a statement from Bayern.

Kane's injury forced him to miss England's recent match against Brazil, with manager Gareth Southgate ruling him out for their next fixture against Belgium. Despite his history of ankle issues, Kane has maintained an impressive record in the league this season, scoring 31 goals in 26 appearances for Bayern.

While Bayern did not provide a definitive update on Kane's availability for the Dortmund clash, his return to training suggests a positive progression in his recovery.

As Bayern aims to close the gap with league leaders Bayer Leverkusen, Kane's potential return would bolster their attacking prowess for the remainder of the season. Additionally, Bayern's upcoming Champions League quarter-final against Arsenal adds further anticipation, especially given Kane's history with the English club.

In a further boost for Bayern, Raphael Guerreiro, Kingsley Coman, and Noussair Mazraoui also returned from injury to participate in individual training sessions on Monday, indicating a strengthening of the squad ahead of crucial fixtures.
