Bayern Munich head coach Thomas Tuchel is hoping Harry Kane has not suffered a serious injury after he was forced off with a twisted ankle in Saturday’s win over Darmstadt.
The England captain, 30, collided with a goalpost late in the 5-2 victory and was immediately withdrawn.
He had earlier scored a 31st league goal of the season, more than any player has scored in a debut campaign in the Bundesliga.
It is also a personal best for Kane who had never before netted more than 30 in a league campaign for former club Tottenham Hotspur.
Tuchel indicated it was still too early to put a definitive timeframe on the issue with a Klassiker against Borussia Dortmund and a Champions League quarter-final with Arsenal on the horizon.
“He stumbled and fell in the net and twisted his ankle,” Tuchel said. “He is cooling it now with ice.
“There is no diagnosis yet. We have to wait and see and hope it is just a scary moment.”
Two goals from Jamal Musiala as well as further strikes from Serge Gnabry and Mathys Tel meant Bayern did their bit in their ongoing battle with Bayer Leverkusen at the top of the table.
Xabi Alonso’s side visit Freiburg on Sunday with the chance to restore their 10-point advantage.
Kane was selected as part of the England squad for friendlies with Brazil and Belgium later this month while Bayern host rivals Dortmund on March 30 and travel to Arsenal on April 9.
