Harry Kane Out Until Late December with Injury

Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane is expected to miss a few games due to a hamstring injury sustained during a Bundesliga match against Borussia Dortmund. Coach Vincent Kompany expressed hope that Kane could return before the end of the year, specifically targeting a possible return for the team's last match before the winter break on December 20. Kane has been instrumental for Bayern this season, scoring 20 goals in 19 appearances across various competitions. Kompany stated that while Kane's absence is significant, the team has several capable players, including Thomas Müller, Serge Gnabry, and Jamal Musiala, to fill the gap. The upcoming fixtures include a German Cup tie against Bayer Leverkusen and a Champions League match against Shakhtar Donetsk. Despite the challenges, Kompany remains optimistic about his squad's depth and talent to navigate this period without their star striker.
