Hamstring Strain Sidelines Harry Kane ‘for the time being’

Harry Kane, who has accumulated 20 goals in 19 games across all competitions this season, will be sidelined “for the time being,” Bayern Munich announced. The striker sustained a minor hamstring strain during the club’s draw against Borussia Dortmund on Saturday. The England captain was substituted after 33 minutes while his team was trailing. Jamal Musiala subsequently secured a late point for Bayern. On Sunday, a club statement confirmed that a scan had verified a “minor muscle strain” in Kane’s right hamstring. The 31-year-old Kane has enjoyed a particularly strong start to the current season, having already accumulated 20 goals in 19 appearances across all competitions. Bayern is scheduled to play five additional matches before the Christmas break. These fixtures include a DFB-Pokal match against Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday, followed by league encounters with Heidenheim, Mainz, and RB Leipzig, and a Champions League fixture against Shakhtar Donetsk.
