Harry Kane has provided an update on his injury after being forced off the pitch against Celtic in the Champions League on Tuesday.
The England captain missed the training session ahead of the crucial 1-1 draw at Allianz Arena due to a facial injury.
His absence came after the striker suffered a knock to the face during Bayern Munich’s goalless draw against the reigning Bundesliga champions on Saturday.
Despite concerns that Kane could miss the game against the Celts, the German giants’ manager, Vincent Kompany, included him in the starting line-up, expressing optimism that he did not expect the injury to be serious.
However, the Englishman was substituted at half-time while the score was still 0-0, which was later followed by an update about his availability for Sunday’s league game against Eintracht Frankfurt.
Speaking in the mixed zone after the game, Kane said: ‘We’ll have a scan done tonight and then we’ll see.

‘I’m not sure if I can be there on Sunday against Frankfurt.’
The Bundesliga leaders will host the third-placed team in the league in a crucial match for their title aspirations.
Despite being eight points clear at the top compared to second-placed Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern Munich faced one of their most disappointing games against the Black and Reds on Saturday.
They managed to deliver only two shots throughout the entire game, with none on target, while Leverkusen had 15.
Kane picked up his injury just before half time but continued to play for the rest of the match at BayArena.
‘I’m okay,’ said the English striker after Celtic’s match, according to journalist Michel Schröer. French international Kingsley Coman has taken his place in the second half.
Kane enjoys another stunning campaign for the Bundesliga giants, with 29 goals in 31 appearances across all competitions.
