Harry Kane Doubtful for German Cup Match

Bayern Munich's star striker Harry Kane is facing a setback due to a muscle injury sustained during the recent 1-1 draw against Borussia Dortmund. The England captain had to be substituted after 33 minutes and is now doubtful for the upcoming DFB-Pokal match against Bayer Leverkusen. Manager Vincent Kompany indicated that Kane's injury, described as a minor muscle tear, might not be serious, but recovery in time for the match appears unlikely. With Kane's impressive record of 20 goals this season, his absence poses a significant challenge for Bayern, especially with a busy schedule ahead. Despite the setback, Kompany expressed confidence in the squad's ability to cope without Kane, noting the team's strong character in previous matches. Bayern will aim to maintain their momentum as they prepare for crucial fixtures in both domestic and European competitions.
