Seoul Gazette - Bayern hopeful Kane fit for Celtic clash

German media reported Kane picked up a knock in Saturday's hard-fought 0-0 draw at Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga.

Kompany admitted he could not give a definite answer to whether Kane would play, but said a decision would be made on the morning of the game in Munich on Tuesday.

"(It's) definitely nothing bad. We've just had very little time to recover and sometimes you need an extra day," Kompany told reporters on Monday.

Bayern were uncharacteristically defensive against Leverkusen, with Kane and other attackers dropping back to help the visitors keep a clean sheet which maintained their eight-point lead at the top of the table.

"We'll see early tomorrow how he feels, but I assume it's nothing too bad -- we've just got very little time to refresh and recover," said Kompany.

"We'll see tomorrow."

Against Leverkusen, Kane needed treatment before half-time after his head collided with Piero Hincapie's shoulder.

Kane scored in the 2-1 victory at Celtic Park last week in the first leg of the knockout phase play-off tie, and Bayern have not lost at home in the Champions League since April 2021.

Kompany said Celtic were "always dangerous, but so are we. It's a home game, we'll look to make that play to our advantage."

Bayern midfielder Jamal Musiala insisted the club had "no excuses" despite the short turnaround after Saturday's top-of-the-table clash.

"None of us want to have excuses. We're using the days to prepare well for the game - then we have to give it our all. We're fresh and will give it everything tomorrow," said Musiala.
