Bayern Munich, led by head coach Vincent Kompany, will play at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany on the 29th (Korea time) against Sao Paulo in the 2024-2025 season. Bayern Munich leads the previous 26 games with 19 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses (62 points).
An injury variable has occurred. Bayern Munich lost Alfonso Davies and Dayo Upamecano in the March A-match. Bayern Munich director Max Yval said "Unfortunately, there is a risk that players will return injured during the A-match. This time, it was particularly hard hit. The absence of Davis and Upamecano puts a heavy burden on Bayern Munich. The players will be closely monitored. I look forward to playing again soon. We have a strong squad. It will make up for this gap. It is important that we continue with our big goals."
It's an emergency. After all, it's Kim Min-jae. He left in March due to injury before the A-match break. 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." In the end, Kim Min-jae was unable to join the South Korean national soccer A team due to his injury.
Kim Min-jae returned faster than expected. Bayern Munich released a photo of Kim Min-jae's training on the club's website. The club said 'The team made preparations for the home game against Sao Paulo. Kim Min-jae, who was suffering from Achilles tendon problems, also returned.

The media outlet said there is no doubt that the players have made a conscientious decision to return. No one suggests that players have been forced to return early. But in a team like Bayern Munich, there is an inherent pressure to return as soon as possible to ensure that players do not lose their place,' it added.
Some media, including The Hard Task, expected Kim Min-jae to start the match against Sao Paulo.
