Kompany hopes Kane injury against Leverkusen is ´nothing serious´

Vincent Kompany is hopeful Harry Kane’s knock is nothing serious, after the Bayern Munich striker limped off during the 1-1 draw with Bayer Leverkusen.

The England captain, who did not register a single shot during the game, was injured in a collision late on at the Allianz Arena, where Aleksandar Pavlovic cancelled out Robert Andrich’s earlier effort.

The stalemate saw Bayern drop their first points of the Bundesliga season, while they turn their attention back to the Champions League with a trip to face Aston Villa in midweek.

Whether Kane features at Villa Park remains to be seen, but Kompany hopes his forward is fit for a return to England.

“I’m not a doctor, but I hope it’s nothing serious,” the Bayern boss told Sky Sports. “It’s still early to say. Hopefully, he’ll be fit for Wednesday.”

Although Bayern’s 100% start to the league campaign is no more, Kompany saw plenty of positives in his side’s display.

“As a Bayern coach, you always want to win,” he added. “But the performance was as we’d hoped. The counter-pressing was positive, we won the second balls, we created so many chances.

“Normally, in such a game, you don’t create many chances, but we did. It was a top game, but there are still many games to go. We just have to keep going.”
