So no excuse for Kane then despite

51 appearances for Bayern each of last two seasons, while Saka has never played as many as 50 in his career.

My point is not only about foreign leagues, but that if the excuse was once valid for England players, it’s now a more even playing field given that premier league teams now include many of the top players from other international teams too.
