Why is Harry Kane not playing in Bundesliga as Bayern Munich close in on his first career trophy?
Harry Kane is set to finally bring an end to his wait for silverware, but it’s not going to happen in the way he would’ve wanted. The former Tottenham man will join a long list of ex-Spurs players to leave the club and win a trophy when his drought ends. Kane is finally going to win the first trophy of his careerRex Features Bayern Munich are on the brink of the Bundesliga title, with a win over RB Leipzig on Saturday enough to get the job done. It’s going to see them reclaim their crown in Germany after their 11-year streak was ended during Kane’s first season at the club. That failure summed up the England captain’s unluckiness when it comes to trophies, but now he’s actually going to get to celebrate. Unfortunately though, those celebrations won’t be on the pitch… Why is Kane not playing for Bayern? Kane is suspended for Bayern’s clash against Leipzig this Saturday. He was given his fifth yellow card of the season last weekend against Mainz, which saw him reach the threshold for a one-match ban. By receiving the booking, which the referee gave to him for time-wasting, he’ll now be sidelined against Leipzig when Bayern can win the Bundesliga. It’s something that has left the striker raging and he didn’t hold back speaking about it. Kane took aim at the officials and the suspension system, saying: “First of all, I think it’s an insane decision. It’s never a yellow card. “Unfortunately, sometimes people come to the Allianz Arena and try to make a name for themselves. Kane was left fuming as he received a costly booking last weekRex Features “That’s why I’m really disappointed that I got the yellow card, because of course I knew I already had four. “And secondly, I think the rule is crazy anyway. Five yellow cards in 34 games means a suspension. That’s crazy.” He continued: “Crazy, crazy decision. It’s kind of my story that I’ll miss the Leipzig game. But no worries, I’ll celebrate more than anyone else.” Kane will likely be doing that celebrating as part of the squad rushing onto the pitch at the full-time whistle, should Bayern claim the title. But luckily for him, he won’t have to miss the trophy lift as that won’t be happening during the game against Leipzig. Just like in the Premier League, clubs that win the Bundesliga will get their hands on the silverware after their last home game of the season. For Bayern, that comes on May 10 against Borussia Monchengladbach and Kane will be back in the team for that fixture. It will be a huge moment for the 31-year-old, who will be able to finally put to bed the worry of never winning a trophy. His claims for being one of the best strikers in the modern era have been constantly damaged by his lack of silverware, despite his goal-scoring stats. But he is going to get one and it will mean the world to him – even if it gets confirmed without him being on the pitch.
