Bayern Munich, led by head coach Vincent Kompany, will play against Union Berlin in the German Bundesliga in the 2024-2025 season at Stadion-An der Alten Försterai in Berlin, Germany on the 15th (Korea time). Bayern Munich is in first place with 19 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses (61 points) in its previous 25 matches. The gap with Leverkusen (53 points) is eight points.
A variable has occurred. 'Defensive key' Kim Min-jae collapsed. At a press conference with local media on Wednesday, Kompany said, "(Kim Min-jae) is injured. I hope that (Kim Min-jae's injury) is not too bad, but he will not be able to play for several weeks. It is already known that there is a problem with (Kim Min-jae's) Achilles tendon. Now we have to manage it so that we don't feel burdened."
As Coach Kompany said, Kim Min-jae is playing despite his injury. Before the match against Stuttgart on the 1st, Christian Polk, who is familiar with the Bayern Munich news, said 'Kim Min-jae could be excluded from the starting list for a while. He revealed himself that he had achilles tendon pain. He continued to run even when he was in poor physical condition.
Kim Min-jae also rested from the match against Hoffenheim in January due to an Achilles injury. German media TZ reported at the time that Erik Dyer, who has not been properly appointed by Kompany, is expected to play against Hoffenheim in place of Kim Min-jae, who has a bad Achilles tendon. Bayern & German also reported Bayern Munich news 'Kim Min-jae has a problem with his Achilles tendon. I also had knee pain recently. He said he is likely to take a break to prevent potential injury complications. In fact, he did not play against Hoffenheim.
