Jude Bellingham reacts to Harry Kane message amid injury blow

Harry Kane of Bayern Munich and Jude Bellingham of Real Madrid are confirmed to play for England in next summer's World Cup. This comes after England experienced mixed results in June, narrowly beating Andorra 1-0 and losing 3-1 to Senegal.

Kane, England's record goalscorer, had a highly productive season with Bayern Munich, scoring 41 goals and providing 12 assists in 51 appearances. He aims to continue this form and help Bayern retain the Bundesliga title, while Bellingham focuses on helping Real Madrid challenge defending La Liga champions Barcelona.

Kane recently celebrated his 32nd birthday on July 28th, sharing a message on Instagram thanking fans for the birthday wishes and stating he had a great time with family, feeling recharged after a holiday. Bellingham liked this post, though he is currently sidelined until October following shoulder surgery.

After moving from Tottenham, Kane played a key role in Bayern's Bundesliga triumph last season, scoring 26 goals and providing 8 assists in 31 league games, which earned him the 2024/25 Bundesliga golden boot. Analysis suggests Kane could perform even better next season, particularly if Bayern finalizes the signing of winger Luis Diaz from Liverpool. Diaz, who created only 5 assists last season in the Premier League, is expected to produce more assists playing alongside a striker like Kane. Additionally, Diaz's ability to also play as a striker is seen as providing valuable competition that could further elevate Kane's performance.
