Kane’s goal gave Thomas Tuchel’s team the lead before the Bavarians went on to win the game 5-2.
However, in the 82nd minute, Kane was substituted off after colliding with the post.
He was replaced by former Stoke and Paris Saint-Germain forward Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting.
And it could put the Three Lions captain in doubt for England’s upcoming international matches against Brazil and Belgium on March 23 and March 26 respectively.
