Manuel Neuer suffered a freak injury during Bayern Munich's second goal against Bayern Leverkusen on Wednesday evening.
The goalkeeper was making his 554th appearance for the German champions in the game, and kept a clean sheet as his side took a giant leap to the quarter-finals with a 3-0 win.
Harry Kane was on the scoresheet twice - once from the penalty spot - to score his 30th and 31st goals of the season for Vincent Kompany's side in Munich.
Sandwiched between the two England captain's strike was a goal from Jamal Musiala, who has once again been in fine form for Bayern.
But it was his goal that caused Neuer to get injured, putting his participation in next week's second leg into doubt.
The goalkeeper appeared to injure his calf while celebrating the goal, and Kompany wasn't sure on his situation after the game after withdrawing his goalkeeper after 58 minutes.

'In this moment, I have no news about Manuel,' Kompany said. 'But it's true that when he celebrated the goal, he injured himself. It looks like his calf, but we will have to see now.'
He added: 'I don't want to put too much pressure on Jonas [Urbig] or Manu. We have had times without Harry Kane, Musiala and Joshua Kimmich this season and we have also played without Manuel, so we will just have to do it without him again.
'We have talent in our team to continue. This was Jonas's debut and you could have easier matches of course, but in the first months with us, he seems really calm and controlled in his actions.'
Neuer recently signed a one-year contract extension with Bayern Munich that will keep him at the club until the summer of 2026, taking him into his 40s.
