The German press labelled Harry Kane as “invisible” after the striker struggled to make an impact in Bayern Munich ’s Champions League defeat to Aston Villa. Vincent Kompany’s side were surprisingly beaten by the hosts as they suffered an early set-back in the revamped competition.

Harry Kane is expected to be in the Bayern Munich team when they take on Aston Villa in the Champions League on Wednesday night. The England captain took a knock to the ankle in Bayern’s 1-1 draw with Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday, replaced by Thomas Muller late in the game.

England interim manager Lee Carsley has jumped to Harry Kane's defence following his disappointing display for Bayern Munich against Aston Villa.
