Harry Kane gives injury update as Bayern striker left surprised Bayer Leverkusen player escaped red card

Bayern drew 1-1 with Leverkusen in the Bundesliga on Saturday but were left sweating over the fitness of Kane, who appeared to sustain an ankle injury after a challenge from Amine Adli. The England striker struggled throughout his time on the pitch, failing to have a single shot on goal.

Now, Kane has issued a positive update on his fitness and has claimed that Adli could have been shown a red card for the challenge. Bayern play Aston Villa in the Champions League in midweek but it is unclear if the former Tottenham star will be fit.

Kane told reporters: "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 clash with Villa in the Champions League takes place on Wednesday before they face Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga on Sunday.
