Kim Min-jae, a 27-year-old Korean defender for Bayern Munich, suffered an ankle injury during a recent game that has caused him to miss a match for the club. Despite ongoing recovery efforts, he has informed his national team’s interim coach, Kim Do-Hoon, that he is not yet fully healed and cannot participate in training or games. As a result, he has requested to be omitted from Korea’s World Cup qualifiers squad until he is ready to return to the pitch at Säbener Straße.
Known as “The Monster,” Kim had some subpar performances in the latter part of the season, and his current injury is not helping his case for a comeback. However, as a key player for both Korea and Bayern Munich, it may be best for him to take this time to recover and regain his form before returning to the pitch.
As Bayern Munich prepares for changes in leadership with Vincent Kompany potentially taking over and Hansi Flick heading to FC Barcelona, there is speculation about which players may be on Flick’s transfer radar. In addition, Bayer Leverkusen’s impressive season should not go unnoticed.
