After a shaky start in the league opener against Wolfsburg last month, where he made a mistake that led to a goal, he was substituted in the 36th minute due to injury concerns, but he has since reestablished himself as a full-time player in all official matches.
After returning from the World Cup third qualifier against Palestine in Seoul on June 5 and the second match against Oman in Muscat, Oman, on June 10 during this month's A-match, he partnered with Dayo Upamecano in central defense.

Munich took the lead 10 seconds into the match on a goal from Jermall Musiala and never looked back.
Kane's goal came in the seventh minute after Serge Gnabry broke down the defense inside the penalty area, and Kiel midfielder Nikolai Lemar added an own goal in the 13th minute to give Munich a three-goal lead.
Kane added another goal in the 43rd minute, set up by Kim Min-jae.
