Harry Kane Out With Hamstring Tear
Bayern Munich forward, Harry Kane has been sidelined “for the time being” due to a hamstring injury, the club confirmed on Sunday.
Kane was forced off the pitch after just 33 minutes during Saturday’s 1-1 draw against Borussia Dortmund.
The 31-year-old England captain is set to miss Bayern’s German Cup round of 16 match at home against defending champions Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday.
In a statement on Sunday, Bayern revealed that Kane sustained “a minor muscle tear in the back of his right thigh.”
The club added, “Harry Kane will be unavailable for the time being.”
German tabloid Bild said Kane was likely to miss two weeks of action. Bayern have five more fixtures remaining in 2024.
After Leverkusen’s visit, Bayern hosted Heidenheim before playing Shakhtar Donetsk in Gelsenkirchen, facing Mainz in the Bundesliga and hosting RB Leipzig in the final match of the year.
The striker has missed just two games with injury since moving to Bayern in the summer of 2023. At the end of the 2023-24 season, Kane sat out two matches with a back injury.
Kane has 20 goals in 19 games in all competitions for the German giants this season.
Despite Saturday’s draw, Bayern are seven points clear atop the Bundesliga table. In the Champions League, the six-time winners sit in 13th place after five games, with three wins and two losses.
