Harry Kane will miss Bayern Munich’s DFB-Pokal match against Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday with a thigh muscle injury.
The former Tottenham Hotspur striker suffered the injury in Bayern’s 1-1 draw at Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga on Saturday and was replaced by Thomas Muller in the 33rd minute.
Kane has now been ruled out of the cup match against holders Leverkusen with a small muscular injury with Bayern putting no further timeframe on any absence.
The 31-year-old has been in prolific form for Vincent Kompany’s side so far this campaign with 20 goals in 19 appearances, having netted 44 times in his debut season in Germany in 2023-24.
Jamal Musiala’s 85th-minute equaliser secured a draw for Bayern after Jamie Gitten’s first half opener, leaving Bayern seven points clear at the top of the Bundesliga standings and Dortmund in fifth.
Bayern’s game against Leverkusen is the standout tie in the round of 16 in next week’s DFB-Pokal.
