Bayern Munich announced in an official statement the nature of the injury suffered by Harry Kane during the Bavarians’ 1-1 draw with Borussia Dortmund on Saturday in the Bundesliga.
The English star left the match after only 27 minutes due to the injury, which raised panic about the severity of the injury and whether he would be away from the stadiums for a long time.
Kane attended Bayern’s clinics on Sunday and underwent the necessary medical examinations, which confirmed that he had a slight strain in the hamstring.
Bayern Munich’s statement did not reveal the expected duration of Kane’s absence, and was content to indicate that he would be away from the stadiums for a while.
The newspaper “Kicker” revealed that Kane will initially not be able to participate in the Bayer Leverkusen match on Tuesday in the German Cup, which represents a big blow to coach Vincent Kompany.
The 30-year-old is also unlikely to feature in next week’s Bundesliga clash with Heidenheim, but Bayern are hopeful that the Champions League clash with Shakhtar Donetsk could mark his return. Kane is Europe’s top goalscorer this season, having scored 20 goals and provided nine assists in 19 games in all competitions.
