Harry Kane will miss Bayern Munich's Bundesliga match against Borussia Monchengladbach on Friday due to a calf injury, dealing a blow to his pursuit of the league's single-season scoring record. Bayern coach Vincent Kompany confirmed the injury isn't serious but requires additional recovery time, ruling Kane out of the crucial fixture.

Kane has scored 30 goals this season and needs 11 more to surpass Robert Lewandowski's record of 41. With 10 games remaining, the timing of this injury is particularly unfortunate as Bayern could extend their lead at the top of the table to 14 points with a win. The 31-year-old striker's absence comes just days after Bayern's dramatic 3-2 victory over Borussia Dortmund.

Kompany expressed confidence that Kane will be available for Bayern's Champions League round of 16 match against Atalanta next week. The coach described the team as "pretty relaxed" about the situation, acknowledging that such setbacks are part of the season. Kane's injury leaves Bayern without their leading scorer at a critical juncture in both the league and European campaigns.
