Ajax set to be without Japanese defender for clash with FC Groningen Japanese defender Ko Itakura will miss the upcoming match between his current club Ajax and his former employers FC Groningen. Fred Grim confirmed that the Ajax defender has been dealing with back issues for several weeks, having not appeared in the Eredivisie since January 24th. Itakura was on the bench for Ajax during their recent encounter against AZ. Itakura joined Ajax in the summer from Bundesliga side Borussia Mönchengladbach, where he had spent three seasons. Prior to that, he played for Schalke 04, the club he left to join the Eredivisie in 2021. Before his move to Ajax, the 29-year-old had made 59 appearances for FC Groningen. Since joining Ajax, he has featured in 21 games. Ajax enters the match with a five-match unbeaten run, though they have only secured one victory in that span. The team faces a Groningen side that has struggled significantly after a strong start to the season. Groningen have not won since January 18th and are on a six-game losing streak. While they are not in immediate danger of relegation, their recent form has been a stark contrast to their early-season success.#borussia_monchengladbach #fc_groningen #ajax #ko_itakura #schalke_04

Harry Kane's Bundesliga Presence Set to End as Bayern Munich Striker Misses Match England captain Harry Kane will sit out his first Bundesliga game of the 2025-26 season on Friday after sustaining a minor calf injury, ruling him out of Bayern Munich’s home clash against Borussia Monchengladbach. The 32-year-old has been a consistent presence in all 24 league fixtures for the German club this term, maintaining his status as the Bundesliga’s top scorer with 30 goals. Bayern manager Vincent Kompany downplayed the severity of Kane’s injury, stating it is not a major concern and that the former Tottenham striker should be available for the club’s Champions League last-16 tie against Atalanta, set for 10 March. Kane’s absence comes as Bayern, the reigning Bundesliga champions, continue to dominate the league table, holding an 11-point lead over their rivals after securing a 3-2 victory against second-placed Borussia Dortmund on Saturday. The win marked a crucial step in Bayern’s pursuit of the title, with Kane playing a pivotal role in the match. The England captain netted twice in the game, extending his overall goal tally for the season to 45 across all competitions. His performance underscored his importance to the team’s attacking strategy, particularly as Bayern look to maintain their dominance in both domestic and European competitions. Kane’s injury raises questions about his availability for key fixtures, including the upcoming Champions League clash against Atalanta. While Kompany remains optimistic about his recovery, the absence of the club’s leading scorer could test Bayern’s depth in attack. The Bundesliga’s top team will need to rely on their supporting cast to keep their title charge on track, especially with Dortmund still in the mix for the championship.#bayern_munich #vincent_kompany #harry_kane #borussia_monchengladbach #bundesliga
