The English striker will be cursing himself after he was booked for holding onto the ball after he had committed a foul.

Kane will be frustrated to miss the game that could secure the first piece of silverware of his career. The former Tottenham Hotspur player has famously never won a trophy in his career, but looks set to break his duck with the Bavarian club this season. Yet he may have to watch his side win the title from the sidelines.

Many expected Kane to win his first trophy in his debut season at Bayern. The club had won 10 league titles in a row when Kane joined, but an invincible campaign by Bayer Leverkusen ensured his wait for a trophy dragged on yet further.
