WHAT HAS BEEN SAID
Kane will undergo tests in the next couple of days before the club can confirm if the player's injury is serious. Kompany was asked about his star player's status after the game to which he told Sky Sports: "I'm not a doctor, but I hope that maybe it will be enough for Wednesday."
Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen added: "He took a hit. But as the doctors said, it's probably nothing serious. We'll have to look at it again tomorrow."
