Vincent Kompany announced on Monday that Harry Kane will not be participating in Bayern Munich’s preseason game against his former club, Tottenham, in Seoul. This news comes after Kane’s impressive season in the Bundesliga, where he finished as the top-scorer with 36 goals. Despite his individual success, Bayern ended up finishing third in the table, trailing behind champions Bayer Leverkusen by 18 points.
Kane, who suffered a back injury just before the Euros this summer, managed to score three goals for England as they reached the final. However, his performance showed a lack of sharpness in front of goal. This could be a contributing factor to his absence from the upcoming preseason clash against Tottenham.
While Kane will miss the preseason match in South Korea, fans can still look forward to seeing him face his former teammates when Bayern Munich plays against Tottenham at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Aug. 10. Kane, who left Tottenham as the club’s all-time highest scorer with 280 goals in all competitions, will have another chance to showcase his skills against his former side.
Bayern Munich’s season is set to begin with a match against SSV Ulm on Aug. 16 in the DFB Cup first round. The absence of Kane for the preseason clash may present a challenge for the team, but it also provides an opportunity for other players to step up and make their mark on the team.
Harry Kane’s absence from Bayern Munich’s preseason clash against Tottenham is a notable development, given his history with both clubs. While fans may be disappointed not to see him in action, there is still anticipation for future matches where Kane will have the chance to face his former team once again. As Bayern prepares for the upcoming season, the team will need to adapt to Kane’s absence and find ways to succeed without their star striker on the field.
