Aston Villa had a similarly convincing win in their tournament opener, defeating Young Boys 3-0 on the road. They have picked up where they left off last season, chasing a top-four finish in the Premier League as they currently have 13 points in six games, and are only two points behind the top of the table.

“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.
