“Harry Kane has done everything he can to be involved vs Real Madrid; he even took part in the final training session,” Eberl confirmed, as cited by Fabrizio Romano.
When asked about the possibility of him starting tomorrow night, Eberl stated:
“Whether he starts tomorrow or not is up to Vinnie. But he’s available and feeling good.”
Regardless, Kane’s presence will certainly concern Real Madrid, as he has been in phenomenal form this season.
As of now, in the 2025/26 season, the former Tottenham star has netted 48 goals in just 40 appearances across all competitions and has added five assists to his tally.
With Kane likely fit to play, the challenge of containing him will rest on the shoulders of veteran Real Madrid defender Antonio Rudiger.
