The former Tottenham striker broke the record for most goals scored in a debut Bundesliga season by netting his side’s second just before half-time on Saturday.
But the 30-year-old was substituted eight minutes from time, with England set to face Brazil and Belgium in friendlies over the next 10 days.
After England double-header with Brazil and Belgium in the international break, Bayern will host Borussia Dortmund and then travel to Heidenheim before the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Arsenal at the Emirates on 9 April.
Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel told the club’s official website: “(Kane) twisted his ankle in the goal netting. He’s been applying ice to it since.
“We don’t have any news yet. We’ll have to wait and see and hope that it’s nothing major.”
On securing the German league’s scoring record, Kane said on X: “Proud to break a Bundesliga record but more importantly another good win.”
