Harry Kane is not starting for Bayern Munich against FC Schalke 04 on Saturday, September 5. Bayern manager Vincent Kompany has named Kane among the substitutes for the Bundesliga match at VELTINS-Arena. This is a selection decision, not a sign that Kane has picked up a new injury or is suspended.

The England captain has already played a major role for Bayern this season, including scoring twice in Wednesday’s 4-1 DFB-Pokal win over VfL Osnabrück. With another important game coming soon, Kompany has chosen to change his attack for the Schalke trip. Kane also started Bayern’s first Bundesliga match and then played a major role in the cup win.
