Bayern boss provides injury update on Harry Kane ahead of Celtic clash

Bayern Munich boss Vincent Kompany has provided a fitness update on Harry Kane after the striker missed training ahead of Tuesday's Champions League second leg play-off with Celtic.

The 31-year-old suffered a knock to the face in Saturday's goalless Bundesliga draw with Bayer Leverkusen, although he did complete the full 90 minutes.

But Kane was not seen at training on Monday, with Bayern due to host Celtic at the Allianz Arena on Tuesday evening.

When asked about Kane's absence from training, Kompany said: "It [the injury] is nothing bad. We haven’t had much time for recovery and sometimes you need an extra rest day.

“We will see how he [Kane] feels and make a decision then, but I expect its nothing serious. There has not been much time for the squad to recover,” the Belgian said.

The England captain was on the scoresheet at Celtic Park last week as the Bundesliga leaders left Glasgow with a 2-1 victory in the first leg.

Kane has scored 29 goals in 30 appearances for Bayern Munich this season.
