Why Tottenham legend Harry Kane misses out on Spurs reunion in Bayern Munich friendly - explained

The England skipper was on national duty with the Three Lions squad in the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/harry-kane-euro-2024-struggles-graeme-souness-points-finger-another-area-england-team/bltcf2676a04947ed6c" target="_blank">European Championship until July 14</a>. Each professional footballer is entitled to a minimum of a three-week post-season break and hence Kane is likely to return to training after the first week of August.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Bayern are playing Tottenham as part of their pre-season tour in South Korea on August 3 in the Coupang Player Series. However, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/cheer-up-harry-kane-bayern-munich-transfer-window-sales-trophy-curse/blt82d2d59609c1fbe8" target="_blank">Kane along with a few other superstars</a> are not joining the rest of the squad for their Asian sojourn as they are currently on an extended break after a hectic and stretched-out season.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Die Startelf für unser Testspiel in Seoul gegen Tottenham! 🇰🇷<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/AudiFCBTour?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#AudiFCBTour</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/packmas?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#packmas</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/MiaSanMia?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#MiaSanMia</a> <a href="https://t.co/vjElcUHDNQ">pic.twitter.com/vjElcUHDNQ</a>— FC Bayern München (@FCBayern) <a href="https://twitter.com/FCBayern/status/1819667428088897719?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 3, 2024</a></blockquote>

THE EXPLANATION

Bayern Munich's new manager, Vincent Kompany, confirmed Kane's absence during a press conference last month."Harry Kane, Alphonso Davies, Dayot Upamecano, and Kingsley Coman won't be there, but hopefully for the first cup game," Kompany stated.

WHAT VINCENT KOMPANY SAID

Kane joined Bayern Munich last summer in a blockbuster transfer worth €120 million (£100m/$131 million). Despite his significant contributions, which included netting 36 goals to become the Bundesliga's top scorer, Bayern Munich only managed a third-place finish, trailing 18 points behind champions Bayer Leverkusen.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Although Kane will miss the friendly clash against Tottenham in South Korea, he will have another opportunity to face his old club on August 10 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. It will be a memorable outing for the English striker in north London as it would mark his first return to his former home ground since he made the move to Germany in 2023. He left as Tottenham's all-time leading scorer with 280 goals in all competitions, and will undoubtedly receive a warm reception from the Spurs faithful.
