Kim Min-jae (29, Bayern Munich) has started his return. Locally, he predicted that he will play all the important games left in Munich in the second half.
"Kicker," a German media outlet, said on the 25th (Korea time), "Kim Min-jae, who missed the Korean national team game due to an Achilles injury, recovered faster than expected. He joined the Munich training and is expected to prepare for an important last minute of the season."
Earlier on the same day, Munich released the first-team training on its official website. Kim Min-jae participated in the training together.
Munich coach Bang Sang Kompany conducted training on the day with players who were not selected for the A-match.
Kim Min-jae participated in training with Thomas Muller, Serge Nabri and Rafael Guerreiro in a friendly atmosphere. It is a preparation process for the 27th round home game of the Bundesliga in 2024-2025 on the 29th.
Kim Min-jae seems to have trained normally by working with his colleagues with a bright expression.
"Kim Min-jae, who is injured in his Achilles tendon, is highly likely to be absent for the next few weeks," Kompany said ahead of the match against Union Berlin on Wednesday. He was expected to leave the team for more than three weeks but was expected. However, he participated in the training for the first time in about 10 days. 메이저놀이터
One day after Kompany officially announced Kim Min-jae's injury (15th), the Korea Football Association (KFA) announced that Kim Min-jae was diagnosed with left Achilles tendinitis and needed recovery.
Coach Hong Myung-bo replaced Kim Min-jae with Kim Joo-sung (Seoul) ahead of the second consecutive Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup (against Oman on the 20th and Jordan on the 25th).
There were also controversies over his injury. "Kim Min-jae is an important asset for both South Korea and Munich. However, Munich did not take proper protective measures in advance," Hong told a news conference.
"Since there have been signs of injury since last year, we gave them a bold break to protect the player (during the A match in March)." The German soccer magazine Kicker reported that "Coach Hong Myung-bo publicly criticized Munich," and there was a brief debate.
In the match between Oman and Jordan without Kim Min-jae, South Korea only drew 1-1. Defensive line instability was clearly revealed.
Kim Min-jae's return is expected to be a big boost for Munich.
Munich remains in the lead with 62 points in 26 league games, but has not won the two games that Kim Min-jae recently missed. Second-ranked Bayer Leverkusen (56 points) is chasing hard, so defense stability is urgently needed.
In addition, Munich is also in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League. It will face Inter Milan on March 9 and 17 in a home-and-away manner to advance to the semifinals. For Munich, which is aiming to return to the top of the European leagues, Kim Min-jae needs to return to the team urgently.
