It is reported that Kim Min-jae missed the Bayern Munich team training held today.

Flossimak, who works for Germany's TZ, said on his personal SNS at 6 p.m. on the 1st (Korea time) that `Kim Min-jae, Leon Goretzka and Kingsley Comang did not participate in Bayern's training on Tuesday" he said. It is not yet known why Kim Min-jae did not participate in the training.

Kim Min-jae is not in very good shape at the moment. Kim Min-jae, who did not recover 100% from the Achilles tendon injury he injured in October, but Kim Min-jae is being overworked as a series of injuries have occurred in the Bayern defense.

Centerback partner Dayo Upamecano has knee surgery and is likely to be out for the season. Hiroki Ito, who can also serve as a center back and left back, was also out for the season due to a recurrence of metatarsal fractures. Left-back Alfonso Davis has been sidelined for a long time due to a cruciate ligament rupture.

From the perspective of Bayern, which is competing in the championship race, Kim Min-jae did not recover properly and returned to the team. Kim Min-jae returned to play full-time in a league match against Jeanette Pauli on the 29th, but his condition was found to be the worst.

Germany's TZ said on the 31st that "Kim Min-jae, who is struggling despite long-term pain, has no plan to rest. Defensive monster Kim Min-jae remains the only centre-back in the squad who can implement the vertical build-up game demanded by Bayern coach Vincent Kompany. However, Kim Min-jae has been suffering from painful Achilles tendinitis since October. During the A-match period in March, he also played for the Korean national team. The Achilles tendon injury has improved, but not completely."

The media reported "Due to the difficulties of the defense, Kim Min-jae had to return to the starting lineup against relegation candidate Jeanette Pauli. I ran even though I had a bad back due to a sore throat and a bad cough. In fact, Kim Min-jae explained, "I need some rest to recover."

Kim Min-jae missed the team training today, the day after the report came out. In many circumstances, it appears to be a rest. As TZ analyzed, Kim Min-jae needs a break, but he cannot rest comfortably even if he is sick due to team conditions. Kim Min-jae may be rested at the weekend against Augsburg, but in the first leg of the quarterfinals of the European Champions League (UCL) against Inter Milan next week, Bayern is indispensable.

If Kim Min-jae overstretches training and his cold or Achilles injury worsens, Kim Min-jae cannot play, so he seems to be taking care of his condition by giving him a break.
