Munich, Sep 29 (AP) Bayern Munich star Harry Kane's left ankle injury is not as serious as initially feared, the Bundesliga club said.

“Examinations by the club's medical unit on Sunday determined a positive development,” the Bavarian powerhouse said. “Kane will continue to receive appropriate treatment.”

The club did not say whether Kane will be fit for Bayern's visit to Aston Villa in the Champions League on Wednesday.

The 31-year-old forward limped off the field late in Bayern's 1-1 draw with Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga on Saturday after getting a knock to the ankle in a tussle for the ball with Leverkusen's Amine Adli.
