Kane still doubtful for Bayern on eve of Villa trip

Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane remains a doubt for their Champions League clash with Aston Villa on Wednesday, coach Vincent Kompany has revealed.

Kane scored four goals to lead Bayern to a 9-2 demolition of visitors Dinamo Zagreb in their opening game in the competition’s new-look league phase, the first time any team had scored nine goals in a Champions League match.

The England captain also moved to 33 Champions League goals in his career in that win, overtaking Wayne Rooney as his country’s all-time leading scorer in the competition.

However, he then failed to have a shot in Bayern’s 1-1 Bundesliga draw against Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday before picking up a knock late on.

“Harry trained today, and things went well. But we need to wait and see until tomorrow and be sure things stay like that,” Kompany said at a press conference on Tuesday.

“Then we can calmly make the right decision. Hopefully everything stays fine.”
