Harry Kane doubtful for Bayern's Cup clash against Bayer Leverkusen

Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane is facing a spell on the sidelines after suffering a thigh injury during the Bundesliga match against Borussia Dortmund.

The England captain and Bundesliga top scorer was substituted in the 33rd minute with the hosts ahead 1-0.

Bayern missed several opportunities in the second half, but Jamal Musiala equalised for the league leaders with an 85th-minute header.

However, Bayern Munich confirmed that Kane has a small muscle tear in his right thigh, ruling him out of the upcoming German Cup clash against Bayer Leverkusen.

"Kane suffered a small muscle tear in the back of his right thigh. Which means Bayern will have to do without Kane for the time being" the club said in a statement.

Bayern manager Vincent Kompany acknowledged the severity of the injury.

""Harry's feeling is that it may not be something too serious. But we will have to wait. He will have to do a scan and then we will know more.

"But obviously it will be tight for Tuesday. I don't know many players who can recover that quickly," Kompany said.

Kane will be out for at least two weeks as Bundesliga leaders Bayern prepare to host Heidenheim on Saturday.

Bayern were unbeaten in their last seven matches and will host Leverkusen in the German Cup round of 16 on Tuesday.
