The German media also admitted it. 'Monster Defender' Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich)'s solo defense is definitive.

Bayern Strike, which mainly delivers the news of Bayern Munich, said on the 31st (Korean time) 'How can Bayern Munich solve the central defender injury crisis. Kim Min-jae should lead the line. Who will be his mate?' he reported.

Bayern Munich, led by head coach Vincent Kompany, beat Sao Paulo 3-2 at home in the German Bundesliga in the 2024-2025 season at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany, on the 29th. Bayern Munich remained firmly in first place with 20 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses (65 points). It is six points behind Leverkusen (59 points).




An injury variable has occurred. Japanese defender Hiroki Ito, who was substituted in the second half, left the game due to an injury at the end of the game. Bayern Munich said on its website on the 30th that 'Itoga's right metatarsal fracture recurred. He was deployed in the 58th minute and had to leave the stadium in the 89th minute. He will not be able to play for a long time,' he said in an official statement. Bayern Munich director Max Yval said "Ito was seriously injured once again. It's a big shock to all of us. He returned after a few months of rehabilitation. But now he can't play for a long time again. I can't imagine how he feels. He will get all the support. I hope he gets back on the field. After the injuries of Alfonso Davies and Dayo Upamecano, we lost a third defender in a short period of time."

It is a bolt out of the blue. Bayern Munich also lost Davis and Upamecano to injury during the A-match period in March. Davis played in the third to fourth places in the Nations League against the United States as a member of the Canadian national team. However, he injured his cruciate ligament in his right knee. I'm going to have an operation. I don't think I'll be able to play for the next few months. Upamecano played for the French national team in the Nations League against Croatia. He injured his left knee.

Bayern Strike says 'Bayern Munich central defense has little choice. Kompany now has only two center backs. Kim Min-jae is having a decent season with Upamecano. Kim Min-jae is still in constant trust. Now he has to lead Bayern Munich's defensive line for the rest of the season. Eric Dyer should help him. He's slow and doesn't fit well into Kompany's system. He is still a solid backup. Bayern Munich fans will want him to perform. Kim Min-jae and Dyer are expected to become a duo for the rest of the season.




Kim Min-jae stepped on the ground 18 days after the second round of the European Champions League (UCL) round of 16 against Leverkusen on the 11th. He hasn't played for a while due to achilles tendon pain. He also did not play in the league match against Union Berlin on the 15th. He also failed to play in the 7th to 8th Group B match of the 2026 North-China World Cup Asia 3rd qualifying round against Oman and Jordan in March. He worked hard on his recovery during the A-match break in March. On the 29th, he announced his return in the match against Sao Paulo.
