MUNICH (AP) — Bayern Munich star Harry Kane’s left ankle injury is not as serious as initially feared, the Bundesliga club said. “Examinations by the club’s medical unit on Sunday determined a positive development,” the Bavarian powerhouse said. “Kane will continue to receive appropriate treatment.”

Bayern Munich said examinations on striker Harry Kane's injured ankle showed "a positive development" on Sunday morning ahead of Wednesday's Champions League clash at Aston Villa. The 31-year-old, who has a history of ankle injuries, was seen clutching at his lower leg after a collision with Leverkusen's Amine Adli.

Bayern Munich boss Vincent Kompany said he hopes his top striker Harry Kane recovers in time from a knock in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Bayer Leverkusen before their second Champions League game which is away at high-flying Aston Villa.
