Bayern Munich received encouraging news regarding Harry Kane’s ankle injury following his exit in the 86th minute of Saturday’s 1-1 draw against Bayer Leverkusen.
The England captain was substituted after a challenge from Leverkusen’s Amine Adli at the Allianz Arena, sparking concerns over his fitness.
However, initial examinations by Bayern’s medical team on Sunday indicated a “positive development,” alleviating fears of a serious setback.
Kane, 31, expressed optimism after the match, stating he expects to be fit for Bayern’s upcoming Champions League fixture against Aston Villa on Wednesday.
The prolific striker has been vital to Bayern’s attacking prowess and his possible absence would be a significant blow ahead of the critical matchup.
In Saturday’s encounter, Bayer Leverkusen took an early lead through Robert Andrich’s well-placed shot. Bayern equalized thanks to Aleksandar Pavlovic’s stunning 25-yard strike, which deflected off goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky’s hand before finding the net.
The hosts pressed for a winner with several near-misses, including Serge Gnabry hitting the post and the crossbar shortly after halftime.
Despite the draw, Bayern remains atop the Bundesliga table, holding a two-point lead over RB Leipzig and a three-point advantage over defending champions Leverkusen.
