The ankle of Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich) seems to be showing bad signs again.
I skipped the team training again this time. It seems to be a choice not to strain your ankle. In the meantime, Kim Min-jae skipped team training when his ankle was not good. And each time, he showed 'Wolverine-class resilience' and returned to the game in good health. Attention is focusing on whether such a figure will come out again this time.
Germany's Sky Sports reported on the 10th (Korea time) 'Manuel Neuer and Kim Min-jae conducted indoor individual training to manage injuries during the Bayern team training' Bayern Munich will play the first round of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) round of 16 playoff against Celtic in 2024-2025 at Celtic Park in Glasgow, England on the 13th. Several players did not appear during the pre-training session ahead of the game.

Neuer and Kim Min-jae are not completely out of training. Personal training was conducted indoors. Therefore, it is not yet possible to confirm whether he will miss the match against Celtic completely or recover his health to play. On the other hand, Alfonso Davis cannot appear in the match against Celtic. In addition, Hiroki Ito, who is newly joined, is likely to play as a starter or replacement after normal training.
This is not the first time Kim Min-jae has been out of training.
Kim Min-jae, who regained his team's main center back position this season, has been almost continuing to participate in Jeon Kyung-gi's starting with his strong physical and steel physical strength. With strong confidence from coach Vincent Kompany, he started 28 of the 29 official matches in Munich since the opening of the season. Due to this force, he eventually missed the 17th round of the league against Hoffenheim on January 16 for the first time of the season. He suffered a recurrence of his Achilles tendon injury in the match against Frankfurt in October last year.
However, one day was enough for Kim Min-jae to recover. Kim Min-jae, who returned as a starter in the 18th round of the Bundesliga against Wolfsburg on the 18th, two days after Hoffenheim, played full time to secure his team's 3-2 victory.
It's not just that. In the 19th round match against Freiburg on Saturday, he scored a header in the 9th minute of the second half when the score was 1-0. Kim Min-jae, who scored his third goal of the season (2 league goals, 1 UCL goal), was honored to be selected as the team of the week selected by the Bundesliga Secretariat. It was included in both the German media and the European football statistics company's 'Team of the State'. He was in his best form this season.

Since then, there has been another risk of injury. Germany's Bild newspaper withdrew 13 minutes after Kim Min-jae participated in the training on January 27. I'm concerned because of my recent struggles with Achilles tendon issues,' he said in a shocking report. Munich conducted team training in preparation for the 2024-2025 UEFA Champions League match against Slovan Bratislava on the 30th, but Kim Min-jae complained of abnormalities in his body as soon as he started.

However, Kim Min-jae returned to the training ground in a day and conducted normal training with his colleagues. He showed tremendous resilience and showed off his strength as the team's main center back.
Therefore, there is a possibility that he will quickly shake off concerns about injury again this time. However, there is no guarantee. In consideration of this, Munich also added Ito, who was once considered a 'Kim Min-jae competitor', to the training. Germany's Sky Sports predicted that Ito could play against Celtic. If Kim Min-jae's condition does not improve, Ito can start.
