“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 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.

Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane has suffered no serious injury which raises hopes that he can be fit to play in the Champions League on Wednesday at Aston Villa. The England captain took a knock to his ankle late in Saturday's 1-1 draw between the Bundesliga leaders and champions Bayer Leverkusen and was substituted.
