The full picture

Harry Kane won the Ballon d'Or, a milestone in his career, and is expected to return to Bayern Munich in time for their DFB Cup match against 1. FC Magdeburg on Wednesday. Aaron Danks, standing in for Vincent Kompany, confirmed Kane's return to Munich and training with the team. Kane will be available for the match, but it's unclear if he'll start or be benched. Danks expressed pride for Kane and the club.

Danks is happy for Kane, who worked hard to achieve the award, and is proud of what it means for the club. He wasn't overly confident Kane would win, given the minimal margins against top players. Kane's achievement is also significant for English soccer, being the first English player to win since Michael Owen.

Kane's return to the team is expected to be seamless, with him training with the other players upon his return. The team's focus will quickly shift back to their competition schedule, with the cup match against Magdeburg being the next challenge. Kane is likely to play a significant role in the match, given his recent achievement and the team's ambitions to advance to the next round.
