Harry Kane will be out "for the time being" according to Bayern Munich after the striker suffered a minor hamstring strain in the club's draw with Borussia Dortmund on Saturday.

The England captain was substituted after 33 minutes with his side trailing, although Jamal Musiala rescued a late point for Bayern.

On Sunday the club said a scan had confirmed a "minor muscle strain" to Kane's right hamstring.

Kane, 31, has enjoyed another strong start to the season, scoring 20 goals in 19 games in all competitions.

Bayern have five more games before a break over Christmas, with Tuesday's DFB-Pokal match with Bayer Leverkusen followed by league games against Heidenheim, Mainz and RB Leipzig and a Champions League meeting with Shakhtar Donetsk.
