Bayern Munich boss Vincent Kompany is crossing his fingers for the fitness of Harry Kane ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League clash against Aston Villa. The talismanic England striker had to be substituted late in Bayern’s 1-1 draw with Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen due to a left ankle injury sustained after a challenge from Amine Adli.
Kompany expressed his optimism, stating, “Hopefully it’s nothing serious. I’m not a doctor, but I hope he can play against Aston Villa on Wednesday.” Kane is set to undergo further examination on Sunday in preparation for Bayern’s upcoming trip to the Midlands for their next Champions League fixture.
The draw against Leverkusen marked a halt to Bayern’s flawless start to the season following six consecutive victories. It was only the second match this season in which Kane failed to find the back of the net, having already netted an impressive tally of 10 goals.
The Bayern boss remains optimistic about Kane’s chances to feature in the upcoming high-stakes clash against Aston Villa. Fans will be eagerly awaiting updates on Kane’s condition as the team prepares for a crucial Champions League encounter.
