Kane’s injury record in recent months paints a bit of a pattern: calf trouble in February 2025, a muscle strain back in December 2024, and ankle problems last September. The latest scare came against Eintracht Frankfurt on October 5, when he limped off clutching his foot. He brushed it off later, saying, ‘It was just a knock,’ but at 32, these niggles can pile up faster than before.

England boss Thomas Tuchel remains calm, reaffirming that Kane will stay captain and lead the team into the 2026 World Cup. Kane, who’s scored 74 goals in 109 caps, insists he feels as good as ever and is even eyeing Euro 2028. Still, next year’s World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico might be his golden window one he can’t afford to miss.
The challenge is clearly balancing Bayern’s demanding schedule with staying fit for England. He’s indispensable right now, but one major injury could flip everything. For Kane, success in 2026 might come down to not just scoring but surviving the season.
