Striker Harry Kane will be assessed before Bayern Munich's Champions League game at Aston Villa on Wednesday.
The England captain came off in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Bayer Leverkusen with an ankle problem.
He has trained and travelled with the squad for the match at Villa Park, and a decision will be made on the day.
"I think you have seen Harry was on the pitch today, that went well but we will still have to wait until tomorrow and see how the situation is and then we will make the correct decision," said Bayern boss Vincent Kompany.

"He trained with us today and hopefully everything will work out fine."
Kane has 10 goals in seven appearances this season, while on Thursday interim England manager Lee Carsley names his squad for the Nations League games against Greece and Finland.

'Every challenge is different'
Bayern are unbeaten under Kompany, scoring 30 goals in seven games, are top of the Bundesliga and beat Dinamo Zagreb 9-2 in their Champions League opener last month, with Kane scoring four.
Kompany replaced Thomas Tuchel in the summer after leaving Burnley, despite being relegated from the Premier League with the Clarets last season.
Bayer Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso, Germany manager Julian Nagelsmann and Austria coach Ralf Rangnick all turned down the job.
But, on his return to England, Kompany believes he has nothing to prove.
The former Manchester City captain said: "It鈥檚 important to separate things. Every challenge is different and the context is different. The most important thing for a coach is to say 'have you done everything you could? Have you done your best for the team?'
"If you go home every night and at the end of the day if have you done everything you could to make the team better then you should have no regrets.
"I don鈥檛 come here carrying anything from the past apart from lessons. It鈥檚 different players, clubs, it鈥檚 a different context, situation and season and you have to leave it behind and focus on what鈥檚 ahead."
