Bayern Munich will be without talisman Harry Kane for Friday's Bundesliga clash with Borussia Monchengladbach.

Vincent Kompany confirmed Kane suffered a knock in Bayern's win in Der Klassiker last week, in which the England captain scored twice.

However, the injury is "nothing serious", and Kane should be fit to feature against Atalanta in the Champions League next week.

Kompany said: "Hiroki Ito is out, Alphonso Davies is out and Harry Kane is out.

"He got a knock on his calf and hasn't recovered yet. It's just a knock, it's nothing serious for the time being, but we'd need maybe another day for him to be involved.

"We're pretty relaxed. Of course, we would have liked Harry to be involved, but these things happen."

Kane has scored multiple goals in each of his last four Bundesliga appearances for Bayern, equalling the Bundesliga record previously set by Borussia Dortmund's Lothar Emmerich in 1967 and Wolfsburg's Tomislav Maric in 2001.

He has netted 30 goals in the Bundesliga this term, so Robert Lewandowski's single-season record of 41 is in his sights.

Manuel Neuer has returned from injury, so will be fit to feature.

Bayern's win over Borussia Dortmund moved them 11 points clear at the top of the Bundesliga, though Kompany is taking nothing for granted.

"We've had an 11-point lead before and we know how quickly that can change," he added.

"We're just looking at our performance and our victories – I looked at the table once after the game against Dortmund and it looked good.

"But after that, once again the only thing that mattered was Gladbach – it sounds like a cliche, but it's a way of life for me."

With 63 points after 24 games, Bayern are playing out their joint-second best Bundesliga season (like 2012-13); they only had more points at this stage in 2013-14 (68).

Such a large lead at the top of the Bundesliga has never been squandered in the three-points-per-win era.

PLAYERS TO WATCH 

Bayern Munich - Luis Diaz

With Kane out, the onus may well fall on Diaz to be Bayern's main goal threat. The Colombia international has netted 13 times in the Bundesliga this term.

Borussia Monchengladbach - Haris Tabakovic 

Tabakovic has netted 41% of Gladbach's goals in the league this season (11/27).

That is the highest proportion of a team's goals scored by a single player in the competition in 2025-26.

MATCH PREDICTION: BAYERN MUNICH WIN

Bayern have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last seven home matches in the Bundesliga – only the bottom two sides, Heidenheim (13 games) and Wolfsburg (18), are currently waiting longer for a home clean sheet.

It is Bayern's longest run without a clean sheet at home since November 2020 to March 2021 (nine).

Bayern have gained 18 points from losing positions in the Bundesliga this season, more than any other side. Gladbach, meanwhile, have only gained one point from losing positions, fewer than any other side, but have also dropped the joint-fewest points from winning positions (four, level with Hoffenheim).

Kompany's team have scored in every Bundesliga match this season and set a new competition record with 88 goals after 24 league games.

Bayern have won their last five Bundesliga encounters against Gladbach, equalling their longest winning streak in this fixture, which they previously achieved in their first five matches from 1965 to 1967.
