Kane came off at half-time in their Champions League play-off second leg against Celtic in midweek with a calf complaint, a few days on from missing training after taking a blow to the face at Bayer Leverkusen.

He told reporters, via Sky Germany: "We'll see. It's good that we're not talking about two, three, four weeks, but about a short-term situation. We'll have to wait and see.
"It would not be the first time we have had to solve this this season. We can never replace Harry [Kane] one-to-one. There are not many players who score 40 or 50 goals in the season. We will try to find the best solution to win the game."
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Kane is such a key player for Bayern, with the England captain scoring a whopping 73 goals in 76 appearances for the German giants. Getting him back fit will be key to their chances of winning silverware this season after a trophyless 2023/24 campaign.
