Since making the switch from Tottenham Hotspur to Bayern in August 2023, Harry Kane has been a revelation in Munich.

In his 133 competitive games for the German record champions across all competitions, he has scored 130 goals and provided 31 assists.

This weekend, they will be without the injured striker against Borussia Mönchengladbach – but how well do Bayern perform without Kane?

In the 2023-24 campaign he missed four games – two in the Bundesliga with back problems, while being rested twice in the DFB-Pokal:

  • DFB Pokal first-round: Münster 0-4 Bayern (win)
  • DFB Pokal second-round: Saarbrücken 2-1 Bayern (loss)
  • Bundesliga Matchday 33: Bayern 2-0 Wolfsburg (win)
  • Bundesliga Matchday 34: Hoffenheim 4-2 Bayern (loss)

Into the 2024-25 season, Kane missed four games with a torn muscle fibre and one through suspension from yellow card accumulation:

  • DFB Pokal last-16: Bayern 0-1 Leverkusen (loss)
  • Bundesliga Matchday 13: Bayern 4-2 Heidenheim (win)
  • Bundesliga Matchday 14: Mainz 2-1 Bayern (loss)
  • Bundesliga Matchday 32: RB Leipzig 3-3 Bayern (draw)
  • Champions League group phase: Shakhtar Donetsk 1-5 Bayern (win)

So in total, Bayern have had to play without the 32-year-old marksman on nine occasions, winning four, drawing once and losing four.
