MUNICH (AP) – Harry Kane is set to make his return for Bayern Munich next week following a muscle injury, coach Vincent Kompany said yesterday.

The England captain hasn’t played since he went off in Bayern’s 1-1 draw with Borussia Dortmund on November 30 after receiving treatment on his right thigh.

Kane’s missed three games since then and Kompany said Kane wouldn’t be available for Bundesliga game at Mainz, either, but could return next week ahead of playing Leipzig on December 20.

“It’s actually gone really quickly and well for Harry. It was tight for this game, but it looks good for Leipzig,” Kompany said.

“I’m obviously only focused on Mainz now but regarding Harry, it’s great. It’s not the case that we’ve had a setback or something. It looks good.”

Kane has scored 20 goals in 19 games for Bayern in all competitions this season.
