Bayern Munich say the initial diagnosis on Harry Kane’s ankle injury is “positive” after he limped out of the 1-1 draw against Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday.
England captain Kane, 31, was substituted in the 86th minute of the Bundesliga match at the Allianz Arena following a challenge by Leverkusen’s Amine Adli.
Bayern said Kane “suffered a painful blow to his ankle” but that examinations by the medical department on Sunday “revealed a positive development”.

Leverkusen took the lead in Munich through Robert Andrich, who crisply found the bottom corner after Granit Xhaka played the ball into his path.
Aleksandar Pavlovic fired a sumptuous 25-yard strike into the top corner to level for Bayern, despite goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky getting a hand to it.
Two minutes after the break Serge Gnabry struck a post from Kane’s floated cross before hitting the crossbar with the rebound.
Alphonso Davies shot wide from the edge of the box and Konrad Laimer fired just past the post for Bayern.
They remain top of the table, two points ahead of RB Leipzig and three ahead of defending champions Leverkusen.
