'We need to fix it' - Thomas Tuchel makes Harry Kane demand ahead of Bayern's Champions League clash with Lazio

Bayern Munich boss Thomas Tuchel has urged his players to bring the best out of Harry Kane as they prepare to face Lazio in the Champions League.

WHAT HAPPENED?
Bayern are licking their wounds after their top-of-the-table clash with Bayer Leverkusen ended in a stunning 3-0 defeat, and are preparing to take on Lazio in the Champions League. Kane touched the ball just 18 times against Leverkusen, and Tuchel is keen for his side to bring the England captain into the game more.

WHAT TUCHEL SAID
Tuchel told reporters: "It was rare for Harry to have so few touches (against Leverkusen). The formation was actually thought of with him in mind, but we didn’t find him at all. We want to get Harry in the game more, and we need to fix it.
"I’m convinced we can show a reaction (against Lazio). It wasn’t good enough in Leverkusen. But it’s a new opponent, a new competition. I hope we can make up for it."
