Harry Kane was absent from Bayern Munich's training session ahead of their crucial Champions League second-leg clash against Celtic, but head coach Vincent Kompany has downplayed concerns over the striker's fitness.
Kane sustained a facial injury during Bayern's goalless draw with Bayer Leverkusen over the weekend but managed to complete the full 90 minutes.
The England international, who found the net in the first leg as Bayern secured a 2-1 victory in Glasgow, will be assessed before the match, with Kompany expressing optimism about his availability.
Bayern will likely remain without Joao Palhinha and Alphonso Davies, both of whom missed the first leg and are not expected to recover in time.
The German champions boast an impressive record in European home fixtures, having gone 20 consecutive matches without defeat in the Champions League at the Allianz Arena.
Kane, who has been instrumental for the team this season with 29 goals in 30 appearances, would be a crucial presence should he recover in time for the tie.
Kompany emphasized Bayern’s determination heading into the match, highlighting their formidable home form and the significance of playing in front of their fans.
He acknowledged Celtic's attacking threat but remained confident in his squad’s ability to handle the challenge.
While Bayern managed to contain the Scottish side in the first leg, the head coach stressed that the tie is far from over, and his team must remain focused to secure progression.
