Revealed: Will Harry Kane play for Bayern Munich in huge Der Klassiker clash with Borussia Dortmund this weekend?

The England international picked up a knock during Bayern's 5-2 thrashing of Darmstadt before the international break. Although Kane flew to London to join Gareth Southgate's troops, the manager was forced to leave him out against Brazil. Upon further deliberation, it was confirmed that the striker would head back to Munich for his rehabilitation to expedite his recovery, and he subsequently missed the 2-2 draw with Belgium.

Speaking to reporters, ahead of the crucial match against Dortmund, Tuchel said: "Harry trained fully with the team yesterday, and has stepped things up each day. It's all fine, he'll play."

The manager further informed that Kingsley Coman and Serge Gnabry will also be included in the matchday squad.

"King [Coman] is a huge factor for us and will be back in the matchday squad," he said. "Serge Gnabry is also back. Both are hugely important for us. Our options up front are getting bigger and the competition for places should hopefully improve quality."

Manuel Neuer has lost the race against time to feature in the Der Klassikeras he continues to nurse a muscle injury in his left adductor that he picked up during the international break.

Detailing the injury status of the entire squad, Tuchel added: "Neuer is out. Aleks Pavlovic is unfortunately not available. Raphaël Guerreiro also isn't back yet. And Sacha Boey got injured during the week. Those four are out."

However, the manager is hopeful that the No.1 choice between the sticks will be available against Heidenheim.

"It's nothing to do with risk. The pain is simply too great. We hope a week is enough and he'll be in goal against Heidenheim,' he said.

Bayern are 10 points adrift of leaders Bayer Leverkusen. They can hardly afford to slip up in the prestige clash if they are to keep their championship hopes alive.
