Kane's injury puts fear on Bayer Munich ahead of UCL clash with Aston Villa

Harry Kane’s injury has become a concern for Bayern Munich ahead of their Champions League with Aston Villa.

Bayern Munich played a 1-1 draw with last season's Bundesliga winner Bayer Leverkusen in a frantic match. 

Unfortunately, Kane's injury forced him to be substituted off the pitch in the first half of the match.

The England international is now in doubt for Bavarians as they travel to Villa Park to face Aston Villa.

After watching Kane score 15 goals in just seven games this season, Bayern manager Vincent Kompany has expressed concern about his injury.

According to The Sun, Kompany told the media, "Hopefully it's nothing serious. I'm not a doctor, but I hope he can play against Aston Villa on Wednesday."

Max Eberl, the sporting director of Bayern, added to the fear by implying that Kane's exit from the pitch must have been caused by a hard impact.

He said, "If Harry goes off the pitch, then it's something. Now I hope he's made of sturdy English wood."

The England captain was left writhing on the ground in agony after Amine Adli caught him on the ankle.

After the match, Kane also provided a positive update on his injury, "Sometimes there have been red cards for something like that.

"I'm OK, but it's a bit sore. I'll check it tomorrow, but I think it's OK. It doesn't feel too bad at the moment. We'll assess that in the next few days, but I don't think I'll be out for long."

Bayern maintained their lead in the Bundesliga standings with 13 points following their goalless draw with Leverkusen. 

Since the Belgian's move from Burnley this summer, Kompany's team has not dropped a match.
