Bayern Munich's Harry Kane Doubtful for Leverkusen Clash with Thigh Injury

Bayern Munich's top scorer Harry Kane faces a fitness test ahead of Tuesday's German Cup tie with Bayer Leverkusen after picking up a thigh injury in the draw at Borussia Dortmund.

Bayern Munich's prolific striker Harry Kane is facing a race against time to be fit for Tuesday's German Cup encounter with Bayer Leverkusen. The 31-year-old Englishman, who currently tops the scoring charts in the Bundesliga, suffered a thigh injury during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Borussia Dortmund.

Kane's injury forced him to be substituted in the first half of the match at Signal Iduna Park. Bayern Munich has since confirmed that the striker's participation in the upcoming German Cup clash with Leverkusen is uncertain, casting a shadow of doubt over his availability for the crucial tie.

Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany has expressed doubts about Harry Kane's availability for the upcoming German Cup clash with Bayer Leverkusen. Kompany admitted that the English striker's recovery from a thigh injury may not be swift enough to make him fit for Tuesday's match. “Obviously, it will be tight for Tuesday. I don't know many players who can recover that quickly,” Kompany stated after the 1-1 draw against Borussia Dortmund.

According to reports in the German media, Kane is expected to be sidelined for at least two weeks, dealing a significant blow to Bayern's attacking prowess. The Bundesliga leaders will host Heidenheim on Saturday, and it remains to be seen how Kompany's side will adapt to Kane's absence.
