Harry Kane Sidelined with Hamstring Injury

Harry Kane, Bayern Munich's top striker, has been sidelined due to a minor hamstring tear sustained during a Bundesliga match against Borussia Dortmund, where he was substituted in the 33rd minute. The club confirmed that Kane will miss the upcoming DFB-Pokal clash against Bayer Leverkusen and is likely to be out for approximately two weeks, as reported by German tabloid Bild. Kane has been in remarkable form, scoring 20 goals in 19 matches across all competitions this season, making his absence significant for the team's upcoming fixtures. Bayern, currently leading the Bundesliga, faces a demanding schedule with five matches left before the winter break. Manager Vincent Kompany expressed hope that Kane's injury may not be serious, but acknowledged the challenge of replacing his contributions on the field. This injury adds pressure on Bayern as they strive to maintain their performance amidst a congested match calendar.
