"Kim Minjae is fighting an injury."

Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kongpani officially announced it.

SB Nations said on the 28th (Korea time) 'Bayern local media and German media that Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany said Kim Min-jae was fighting an injury after winning the Bayern Munich-Wolfsburg match. Kim Min-jae said he struggled with injuries, and if he fails to recover, he could be on the injured list, according to the report.

Kim Min-jae went ahead with his thigh injury in the opening match of the Bundesliga against Bayern Munich and Wolfsburg. In the end, he was replaced by Eric Dier in the second half.

On the social media of Germany's local media, Kim Min-jae missed the team training. It is known that muscle injuries are the cause. In addition, on the 27th (Korea time), German media TZ reported 'Kim Min-jae was sluggish in the match against Wolfsburg. The reason was belatedly revealed. He also went ahead with his thigh injury, he reported.

Bayern Munich coach Bangsang Kongpani started the center back combination of Kim Min-jae and Dayo Upamecano against Wolfsburg.

First of all, it can be seen that Kompany prefers Kim Min-jae and Upamecano. However, the problem was Kim Min-jae's condition.

There was a minor thigh injury, and Kim Min-jae's condition affected it. In the end, this injury area seems to have worsened after the game.

Eventually, he missed team training and could be on the injured list.

This part is not good. Kim Min-jae had a strong performance early last season. It received the absolute trust of Thomas Tuchel to the extent that controversy arose. However, after the transfer to the A national team, his physical strength and condition declined, and he was eventually pushed out of the main competition. This season, Kim Min-jae expressed his will to compete for the starting lineup. Despite rumors of an off-season transfer, Bayern Munich's senior leadership and coach Kompany trusted Kim Min-jae and Upamecano by transferring Matisse de Ligt.

However, the recovery of honor this season has been disrupted as he has suffered from an injury evil spirit since the opening game.
