Bayern dealt potential Kane injury blow
Harry Kane is likely to miss Bayern Munich's game against Eintracht Frankfurt having yet to recover fully from a calf injury.
The England captain is the top scorer in the Bundesliga this term, netting 21 times so far, and sustained the injury in last week's UEFA Champions League play-off second leg against Celtic.
Bayern drew a blank in its 0-0 draw with Bayer Leverkusen last time out in the Bundesliga, with Kane's absence potentially coming at a bad time.
However, he is only expected to be sidelined for a few days, with Vincent Kompany confident he will be back for his side's next outing against Stuttgart next week.
"It is not the first time this season that we will have to solve this situation," Kompany said.
"We cannot replace Harry one-to-one because not many players can score 40 or 50 goals per season.
"We will try to find the best solution [on Sunday] to win the game. If he is out we will solve it within the squad. We still have one training session.
"It is good that we are not talking about three or four weeks. It is about a short-term situation."
Bayern's draw with Leverkusen was the first time it has failed to score in the league this season, while it faces a Frankfurt side that has scored in each of its past 21 games after failing to find the net against Borussia Dortmund in its Bundesliga opener.
Bayern is currently five points clear at the top of the Bundesliga after second-place Leverkusen beat Holstein Kiel on Sunday (AEDT).
Bayern has won nine consecutive home games in the competition for the first time since 2020.
It has scored at least three goals in each of these nine matches – in league history, only Bayern has managed a longer scoring run of this kind – 11 home games in a row in 1993.
"We now have Frankfurt at home. You know we can bring special moments in this stadium with our fans, and that's our only focus," Kompany added.
"The goal is always that we perform to our best in the next game. You can never change what happened in the last game.
"There's been a lot of games in a short space of time. We now need to make sure that we're top again [on Monday AEDT]."
