Kim Min-jae, who was eliminated from the national soccer team led by head coach Hong Myung-bo due to an injury, recovered quickly and is preparing to return. He announced his participation in Bayern Munich, his team.
"We started our first team training ahead of the match against Jean-Cette Pauli," Munich said on its official website on Saturday (Korea time). "The rest of the players, except for the national team, have prepared for the next league game." Among them were images of Kim Min-jae undergoing training.
In the photo, Kim Min-jae trained with a bright expression, and when handling the ball, he was 100% focused.
Recently, Kim Min-jae was eliminated from the Korean national soccer team due to an Achilles tendon injury.
Last year, Munich's defense team was not normal because Josip Stanisic and Ito Hiroki were out due to injuries. If Kim Min-jae was excluded, the defense gap would have been even bigger.
Kim even took painkillers to fill the void. The painkillers' effects, however, are only temporary. Kim had to endure the pain for nearly half a season.
However, he couldn't continue to rely on painkillers. He hit his limit in 2025 and took a few games off.
He was absent from training ahead of the Bundesliga match against Hoffenheim on January 16, and missed the team's training ahead of the first leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 playoff against Celtic on January 13. He missed the match against Bochum and Union Berlin.
"I'm not worried about Kim Min-jae's condition, but it's important not to overdo it," said Bang Sang-Kompany at the pre-press conference against Berlin. "Kim Min-jae is injured. I hope it doesn't last too long, but it will take a few weeks for him to return."
Kim Min-jae, who had been given frequent rest recently, was listed as Hong Myung-bo ahead of two A-match games in March. However, he was unable to accompany him due to his Achilles tendon injury, which had plagued him since last year.
The Korea Football Association announced on the 15th that "Kim Min-jae finally decided to cancel the call-up as he was judged to need treatment and recovery during the A-match due to left Achilles tendinitis."
Coach Hong said, "As you know, Kim Min-jae is a very important player in our team as well as Munich," adding, "What was a little disappointing was that Munich did not protect players to prevent players, so as a result, we had to leave out key players for important games."
"There have been signs of injury risk for Kim Min-jae since last year. We were fully aware of that, and we decided that it would not be appropriate for our team to play with Kim Min-jae in the team right now because it is an important game, so we gave him time to rest boldly," he said.
He expressed regret over Munich's player management, which he continued to use without giving Kim Min-jae, who had already had problems with his Achilles tendon since October last year.
Munich also said on its official website, "The club cannot use Kim Min-jae for the time being. Coach Kompany confirmed Kim's Achilles tendon injury. I hope his rehabilitation will not take too long. A few weeks will not be enough," adding, "Kim Min-jae had to cancel his participation in the World Cup qualifiers for the Korean national team."
Germany's Bild said, "No surgery is required. Inflammation will soon recover. He will complete his rehabilitation at Jabener Strasse," but added, "There are still questions about when Kim Min-jae will be able to play again. Important matches are coming up after the A-match break. This includes the first and second matches of the Champions League quarterfinals against Inter Milan and the Bundesliga match against Borussia Dortmund," adding, "We cannot guarantee his return to the league in April."
Fortunately, Kim Min-jae's injury does not appear to have been serious. He recovered quickly and is preparing for his return match. 바카라사이트
"München breathed a sigh of relief. Kim Min-jae recovered faster than expected," German media F.C.B. Inside said. "Kim Min-jae recovered from his Achilles tendon injury earlier than expected. He had already participated in the team's training again last Monday. As a result, he will be able to play as a Munich player again in upcoming matches."
"München will play against Jean-Claude Pauli and Augsburg. They will play Inter Milan in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League. Kim's return gave Munich a much-needed boost," he added.
Kicker also welcomed Kim Min-jae's return from injury, saying, "Kim Min-jae, who did not play in the Korean national team, has recovered from an Achilles tendon problem and is in better condition than expected. Kim Min-jae participated in training in Munich and seems to be ready for the important weeks of the season."
"I have good news for Kim Min-jae. Kim Min-jae, who recently failed to play an A match for Korea due to his Achilles tendon problem, started training again from Monday. As a result, Kompany will be able to consider Kim in the upcoming weeks," he said.
