“Harry Kane suffered a painful blow to his ankle in Saturday's top Bundesliga match against Bayer Leverkusen,” a club statement read. “Examinations by FC Bayern's medical department on Sunday showed a positive development. Kane will continue to receive intensive treatment.”

Bayern Munich boss Vincent Kompany said he hopes his top striker Harry Kane recovers in time from a knock in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Bayer Leverkusen before their second Champions League game which is away at high-flying Aston Villa.

Bayern Munich have provided a reassuring update on Harry Kane's ankle injury, suggesting that it may not be as severe as initially feared, thanks to "positive developments" from the club's medical staff.
