Hiroki Ito left Bayern Munich for several months due to his injury. The idea of the starting defense for the next season's opening game was also given a red light. Bayern said on its official website on the 29th (Korea Standard Time) 'Ito suffered a metatarsal fracture' Ito is unlikely to be active for several weeks. He suffered a metatarsal fracture in a friendly against Durren. This was confirmed by tests conducted by Bayern medical staff immediately after the game. Max Ebbe, the head of the team, also said "It's a very bitter hit. I will support Ito as much as I can to help him return to the stadium as soon as possible," he said, expressing his sorrow.
As Ito is highly likely to be absent from the Korean tour right now, attention will be paid to which defender, including Kim Min-jae, will be used in Bayern's friendly match between Korea and Tottenham in London ahead of the season. Depending on the decision, there may be changes in the selection plan for the opening game. Photo = Kim Min-jae SNS Capture |

Ito was replaced by an injury 21 minutes after the start of the match in a friendly against Duren last time out. At the time, Ito started at centre-back along with Kim Min-jae and Josip Stan City, but was replaced by Adam Aznu and had to leave the stadium. There was a lot of concern because I left the stadium immediately, but the concern became a reality. Ito, who has not even played since moving to Bayern, has virtually become difficult to start the opening game due to injury. Ito is known that he should devote at least two months to up to three months to treating his injuries.
Hiroki, a center back born in 1999, has been on the J-League stage steadily since his professional debut with Jubilo Iwata in the Japanese J-League, before joining Stuttgart in 2021. After completely transferring to Stuttgart, he consistently became the main player and showed a solid defense on the Bundesliga stage. Hiroki is a left-footed player who can play both left center back and left back, and has clear advantages such as stable ball control and ball distribution.
Ito was a rising star in the defense to the extent that Bayern was the first to sign the team this summer, so Bayern's regret is even greater. Some German media also predicted that Ito would take over Bayern at the same time as he joined. Ito, who proved his skills in the Bundesliga by playing a stable defense in Stuttgart in the 2023-2024 season, was predicted to be chosen by coach Kompany.

However, Bayern will have to restructure its plans early in the season due to this injury. Kim Min-jae, Eric Dier, and Dayot Upamecano, who were in charge of the team's defense last season, are likely to receive an opportunity if Yonathan's recruitment is sluggish and Ito leaves.

It could be an opportunity for Kim Min-jae. There has already been a lot of favorable reviews for Kim Min-jae, so a better situation can unfold. Kim Min-jae, who is focused on building up his body at Bayern this summer, has received a lot of favorable reviews from the German media. Germany's TZ is 'Kim Min-jae looks completely different. Bayern's centre-back, who had a mixed first season, is reminiscent of a defensive monster again. Kim Min-jae also praised him for looking like a new person both visually and on the field.
Then 'The personnel who regularly observe the squad also have a very positive perception of the current Kim Min-jae. According to the news, management evaluated the hungry defensive monster as back. Now Kim Min-jae wants to make a fresh start for Bayern. He is ready to fight for his start. Kim Min-jae's current condition is very good, saying, 'I've become more comfortable and healthy compared to last summer.'

For Kim Min-jae, it is a markedly different evaluation from last season. Last season, Kim Min-jae had difficulty adapting to Bayern, spending the first and second half of the year markedly differently.
Kim Min-jae had a disappointing performance in the second half, but in the first half, he played almost without a break to fill the vacancy without Dayot Upamecano and Matthias Derricht, taking charge of bad things. Kim Min-jae's overwork was not predicted from the beginning of the season. Bayern had a total of three outstanding center backs this season, Kim Min-jae, Matheis Duricht and Upamecano, so it was expected that there would be no major difficulties in operating the defense. It was the injury of teammates that caught the ankle. Duricht was consistently sidelined by injury, as was Upamecano.
Kim Min-jae is responsible for all the burdens, and he played full-time in 15 consecutive games as a starter in the early game of the season, leading to controversy over overwork. Although it is inevitable due to injuries to teammates, Kim Min-jae also had a difficult time, showing signs of exhaustion during the league game due to continued full-time digestion. Kim Min-jae himself had physical problems due to military training during the off-season, but he did not hesitate to play for the team. However, he had to keep the bench behind Eric Dier at the end of the season along with a disappointing slump in the second half.
Several problems and sluggishness have overlapped, and the possibility of a transfer has emerged since the end of the season. Starting with his former team Napoli, he showed interest in Kim Min-jae in various places, including Inter Milan, Juventus, Manchester United, and Saudi Arabia. However, Kim Min-jae's choice was to stay in Bayern unconditionally. Kim Min-jae, who has been sweating hard since the start of this summer, seems to have started to change his evaluation from the pre-season and start ahead of the next season's main competition.
Ito's injury disrupted Bayern's plans. However, Kim Min-jae and other players opened the door to opportunity.
