Bayern Munich’s English striker Harry Kane suffered a “small muscle tear” in the back of his right thigh during the match against Borussia Dortmund, which ended in a 1-1 draw in the German Football League on Saturday, according to what his club said on Sunday.
The Bavarian club explained in a brief press statement that the English international underwent an examination, noting the absence of the “Three Lions” striker for an unspecified period, which means his absence from the expected match against Bayer Leverkusen, the local league champion, on Tuesday in the German Cup final.
For its part, the German newspaper “Bild” revealed his absence for about two weeks.
Kane left the field against his host Dortmund in the 33rd minute, and went directly to the dressing room. Vincent Kompany, the Belgian coach of the Bavarian giant, said: “He says the matter is not very serious, let’s hope.”
Kane is one of Bayern’s most prominent pillars, having scored 20 goals for them in all competitions since the start of the season.
Bayern Munich leads the local league standings with 30 points (out of a possible 36) and has not yet suffered any defeat in its quest to regain the title, while it occupies 13th place in the Champions League after 5 stages (three wins and two losses).
