Mumbai, September 29: Bayern Munich star Harry Kane went off with an apparent left ankle injury in the 1-1 draw with Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga. The England captain clutched the ankle and appeared to be in pain after a tussle for the ball against Leverkusen's Amine Adli on Saturday. He was substituted for Thomas Müller in the 86th minute and limped off the field. Cole Palmer Becomes First Premier League Player To Score Four Goals in First Half, Achieves Feat During Chelsea vs Brighton EPL 2024–25 Match.

"When Harry has to leave the field, then there's something. It doesn't look good," Bayern director of sport Max Eberl told Sky.

Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen sounded more upbeat shortly afterward.

"He got a knock, but from what I've heard from the doctors, it's nothing too serious," Dreesen said.

Kane was to have a check on the ankle on Sunday. Bayern plays Aston Villa in the Champions League on Wednesday.
