Tuchel’s decision to start Kane in the league match against Koln, who are battling relegation, was peculiar, especially considering that their hopes of retaining the Bundesliga title are dwindling. With a 16-point gap behind leaders Leverkusen, Xabi Alonso’s potential victory against Werder Bremen on Sunday could effectively end Bayern’s dominance in Germany.
Bayern’s domestic season has been disastrous, leaving the Champions League as their sole chance for silverware. Following a hard-fought 2-2 draw against Arsenal, the decisive second leg at the Allianz Arena looms large on Wednesday. This tight schedule means Kane, aged 30, will be involved in three matches within a week.
Despite the strain, Kane has been in phenomenal form since joining his new club, netting 39 goals in 38 appearances across all competitions since his transfer from Tottenham last summer. He’s within touching distance of Robert Lewandowski’s record of 41 Bundesliga goals in the 2020-21 season, trailing the Polish striker by nine goals.
Tuchel’s decision to start Kane may have been driven by a desire to maintain his sharpness and competitive edge. However, with just over 72 hours to recover before the crucial Champions League clash against Arsenal on Tuesday, it’s a gamble with Kane’s fitness and readiness for such a high-stakes encounter.
