But Kane, 31, had to be subbed four minutes before the end of his side’s 1-1 draw with Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday.

Amine Adli caught the England skipper on the ankle to leave him writhing on the turf in agony.

The injury will be a concern for Bayern boss Vincent Kompany who has already seen Kane register 15 goal involvements in just seven games this season.

Kompany told the media after the game of his concern at losing Kane to injury.

He said: “Hopefully it’s nothing serious. I’m not a doctor but I hope he can play against Aston Villa on Wednesday.”

While Bayern’s sporting director Max Eberl fuelled the concern when he hinted that it must be a nasty knock if Kane has had to leave the pitch.

He added: “If Harry goes off the pitch, then it’s something. Now I hope he’s made of sturdy English wood.”

However, Bayern Munich fans may be able to breathe a sigh of relief after Kane gave an upbeat update in the mixed zone after the clash.

The former Tottenham star said: “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’s goalless draw with Leverkusen means they remain top of the Bundesliga table with 13 points.

Kompany’s side are yet to lose a game since the Belgian’s arrival from Burnley this summer.
