Harry Kane sparked injury fears among the England ranks after colliding with the post during Bayern Munich’s 5-2 win over Darmstadt on Saturday.
The 30-year-old scored a record 31st league goal of the season and Jamal Musiala added two more in the 5-2 demolition of the hosts.
The victory moved the defending champions seven points behind leaders Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, but Kane’s injury was the main talking point.
Kane put Bayern, who will face Arsenal in the Champions League quarterfinals next month, 2-1 up in first-half stoppage time.
The England international’s header took his league tally to 31, more than any player has scored in their first season in the Bundesliga.

It’s also a personal league best for Kane, who scored between Musiala’s two goals but was taken off injured after sliding into the post late in the game.
The collision left him lying on the ground inside the penalty area and Kane immediately sought treatment.
The team’s physiotherapists tended to his left leg but quickly decided the England star could not continue as he gingerly limped towards the bench.
Kane will rejoin Gareth Southgate’s Three Lions camp ahead of upcoming friendlies against Brazil and Germany in their final round of games before this summer’s European Championship.
Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel confirmed after the match that Kane had sprained his ankle during his collision with the post as the club begins to try to form a diagnosis on the extent of his injury.
“He hit the post and sprained his ankle a little bit; they froze his ankle.” There is no diagnosis yet, we have to wait. I hope it’s nothing bad’
Substitute Serge Gnabry added his fourth goal in the 74th and Mathys Tel scored his fifth in stoppage time before Darmstadt’s Oscar Vilhelmsson pulled one goal back. Darmstadt took the lead in the 28th minute through Tim Skarke.
The victory lifts Bayern to 60 points in second place, while Leverkusen, on 67, travel to Freiburg on Sunday.
Kane will meet with the England international camp next week ahead of upcoming friendlies.
