HARRY KANE is facing a fitness test after emerging as a doubt for Bayern Munich’s clash with Aston Villa.
The England captain came off during Saturday’s 1-1 draw against Bayer Leverkusen with a potential ankle injury.

Kane has travelled with the Bavarians to Birmingham for the Champions League clash at Villa Park.
However, the 31-year-old will undergo a fitness test THIS MORNING to see whether he is able to feature.
He managed to get through training on Tuesday, but Bayern manager Vincent Kompany will not make a final decision on Kane’s availability until later today.
The former Burnley boss said: “I think you have seen Harry was on the pitch today.
“That went well but we will still have to wait until tomorrow and see how the situation is and then we will make the correct decision.
“He trained with us today and hopefully everything will work out fine.”
Kane has already scored 10 goals and added five assists in seven games this season – despite being criticised for his display against Xabi Alonso‘s Bayer team before his substitution.
He joined Bayern in a huge £104million transfer from Tottenham last summer.

Despite scoring 36 league goals last season, he was unable to help his side retain the Bundesliga, with an unbeaten Leverkusen lifting their first ever German league title by going unbeaten.
Kane smashed Wayne Rooney’s record for the most goals scored by an Englishman in the Champions League in this season’s opening game against Dinamo Zagreb, which they won 9-2.
He now sits on 33 goals and will hope to add to his tally against a familiar foe in Aston Villa, if he is deemed fit enough to play.
The former Tottenham star has scored eight goals and added two assists in 13 games against the Villans.
He has been on the winning side nine times and lost the other four.
Harry Kane reveals his favourite England goals
HARRY KANE is already England’s all-time record goalscorer.
But the Three Lions skipper will NOT be stopping there.
To mark his 100th cap for his country, Kane spoke to SunSport’s CHARLIE WYETT about some of his special England goals….
FIRST ENGLAND GOAL
“My debut v Lithuania. March 2015.
“There was a lot of talk in the build-up to that camp because I was playing well for Spurs.
“I got a great reception and within a couple of minutes I scored a goal.
“I don’t think I could have dreamed it any better.
“My friends and family were there. That was a really special night.”
FAVOURITE ENGLAND GOAL
“It’s between two, for me.
“Against Germany, the one at Wembley in Euro 2020.
“Also, the header against Tunisia at the World Cup in 2018.
“That moment of scoring a last-minute winner at my first World Cup was special.”
BEST ENGLAND GOAL
“The one I scored in Poland away in a World Cup qualifier in 2021. It was from 25 yards.”
(Kane picked up the ball from Kyle Walker, advanced towards goal and put his foot through it.)
“It kind of drifted away and it was a good strike, probably my furthest-out goal for England.”
