England captain Harry Kane is a doubt for the upcoming international friendlies against Brazil and Belgium after sustaining an ankle injury while playing for Bayern Munich on Saturday.
“He twisted his ankle in the goal net,” Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel said. “He’s cooled it with ice. We don’t have a [final] diagnosis yet. We have to wait and see and hope that it remains a scare.”
Bayern’s 5-2 win over Darmstadt in the Bundesliga lifted them to 60 points in second place, with Bayer Leverkusen, who are on 67, travelling to Freiburg on Sunday.
Kane crashed into the post late in the game as he tried to reach the ball when it rebounded off the crossbar from Jamal Musiala’s effort. He appeared to be in pain and received brief treatment on the field before going off.
Earlier, Kane had scored his 31st league goal to set the record for goals in a debut Bundesliga season. He also eclipsed his previous best mark of 30 league goals in a campaign achieved with Tottenham in the Premier League in 2018 and again last season before his move to Germany in a deal worth in excess of £86 million.
“Proud to break a Bundesliga record but more importantly another good win,” Kane wrote on X.
