Harry Kane trained Monday after recovering from a calf injury and will travel with Bayern Munich to Italy for Tuesday's Champions League match against Atalanta. The England captain missed Friday's 4-1 Bundesliga victory over Borussia Monchengladbach due to what coach Vincent Kompany called a calf knock. Nicolas Jackson filled in and scored as Bayern maintained its German title push.

Kane's movement appeared unaffected during Monday's training session in Munich, where he joined teammates in ball exercises. Bayern heads to Bergamo aiming to extend its streak of reaching at least the Champions League quarterfinals in six consecutive seasons. The German giants hold an 11-point lead over Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga with nine games remaining.

Atalanta pulled off a remarkable home comeback in the previous round, eliminating another German team by beating Borussia Dortmund 4-3 on aggregate. However, the Italian side has since gone winless in three league and cup matches. Bayern's depth and experience make them favorites to advance, though Atalanta's home advantage at Gewiss Stadium could provide a stern test for Kane and his teammates.
