The star striker sustained a minor muscle fibre tear in his right thigh during Bayern’s 1-1 draw with Borussia Dortmund last month, leading to concerns he wouldn’t play again until 2025.
However, Bayern manager Vincent Kompany offered a glimmer of hope last week, with Kane potentially returning before the winter break.
Kompany suggested Kane might be fit in time for their final Bundesliga match before the winter break, a clash with RB Leipzig on Friday.
"He's doing well. He was touch-and-go for this game. So hopefully he'll be there for the next game," Kompany said after Bayern's 2-1 defeat to Mainz.
