BIRMINGHAM, England (AP) — Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane is set to be available for the Champions League match against Aston Villa on Wednesday after making a quick recovery from a left ankle injury.

Kane trained with Bayern on Tuesday, three days after limping off the field late in the 1-1 draw with Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga after getting a knock to the ankle in a tussle for the ball.

“We always have to wait what it’s going to be like tomorrow,” Bayern coach Vincent Kompany said. “Tomorrow, we will decide. But he trained today and hopefully everything stays that way and he’s in good shape.”

Kane scored four goals in the 9-2 win over Dinamo Zagreb in Bayern’s opening Champions League game.
