WHAT HAPPENED?
The striker sustained an injury in his team's 1-1 draw with Bayer Leverkusen at the weekend, sparking fears he could be out for the midweek clash at Villa Park. Although Kane trained in the days before the game, coach Vincent Kompany said he would be assessed further.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Kane has since been cleared to start Wednesday's clash at Villa Park and Kompany has named him in the starting XI. The inclusion of the England international is a big boost for the German giants given he has scored 10 goals in just seven games this season.
DID YOU KNOW?
Kane, who netted four times as Bayern started the new Champions League season with a 9-2 win against Dinamo Zagreb, scored eight goals in 12 league matches against Villa during his time at Tottenham.
