Summary

Harry Kane's ankle injury is not serious, providing relief for Bayern Munich. The striker was hurt late in Bayern's 1-1 Bundesliga draw with Bayer Leverkusen. Medical tests showed positive progress, but his availability for the Champions League clash against Aston Villa remains uncertain. Bayern confirmed Kane will undergo further treatment.

Bayern Munich provided the latest update on Harry Kane injury, as the striker’s ankle issue has caused concerns for the Bavarian side.

On Saturday the 31-year-old walked off the field late in the 86th minute after getting knocked in the ankle during a battle with Leverkusen’s Amine Adli for gaining possession, which saw both sides settle for a 1-1 draw in the Bundesliga.

“Examinations by the club’s medical unit on Sunday determined a positive development,” said Bayern Munich’s medical team. “Kane will continue to receive appropriate treatment.”

However, the club did not confirm Kane’s fitness for Bayern’s upcoming travel to Aston Villa in the Champions League on Wednesday.
