Harry Kane will probably miss Bayern Munich's match against Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday, who does not yet have to recover from a calf injury.
The captain of England is the top scorer in the Bundesliga this period, which has so far become 21 times in the competition and has sustained the injury in the play-off second stage of Tuesday in the second leg of the Champions League against Celtic.
Kane has registered the highest expected goals (XG) this season in the competition with 16.0, which surpassed its XG with five goals.
Bayern drew a blank in their 0-0 draw with Bayer Leverkusen last time in the Bundesliga, with Kane's absence possible at a bad time.
However, he is only expected to be sidelined for a few days, with Vincent Kompany convinced that he will be back for their next outing against Stuttgart next week.
“It is not the first time this season that we have to solve this situation,” Kompany told a press conference.
“We cannot replace Harry one-on-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 gone, we will solve it in the team. We still have one training session.
“It's good that we are not talking about three or four weeks. It's about a short -term situation.”
Bayern's draw with Leverkusen The last time they did not score this season in the competition, while they are confronted with a Frankfurt side that scored in each of their last 21 games after they have just found it against Borussia Dortmund In their Bundesliga opener.
Bayern is currently eight points clearly at the top of the Bundesliga, although the second place plays Leverkusen on Saturday and is looking for their impressive home record.
Bayern has won nine consecutive home games in the competition for the first time since 2020. They have scored at least three goals in each of these nine games – in the competition history, only Bayern itself once managed a longer scoring run of this kind of (11 home games in a row in 1993).
“We now have Frankfurt at home. You know that we can bring special moments in this stadium with our fans, and that is our only focus,” Kompany added.
“The goal is always that we perform at our best in the next game. You can never change what happened in the last game.
“There have been many games in a short time. We have to make sure we are top again [on Sunday]. “
