Busan = Reporter's wook@sportschosun.com/2025.08.07/



This is shocking news. Kim Do-young suffered another hamstring injury.

KIA Tigers reported Kim Do-young's condition ahead of the match against Changwon NC Dinos on the 8th. The result is shocking. It's hamstring damage again. I don't even know how hurt I am this time. Since there is swelling, the exact condition can be confirmed through a re-examination two to three weeks later. What is certain is that there is a finding of muscle damage.

Kim Do-young complained of left hamstring pain during defense against the Lotte Giants in Busan on the 7th. At the time, the club said that they would undergo a hospital examination if necessary after icing treatment, to the extent of muscle clumping. It didn't seem like a major injury.




However, Kim Do-young underwent an MRI examination at a local hospital ahead of his away trip to Changwon on the 8th, and hamstring damage was also found. It's already the third time this year. He has been hurt left, right, and left in turn, almost flying throughout the season. It is Kim Do-young, who returned almost two months after his second hamstring injury, and it is no exaggeration to say that he was virtually ruled out of the season due to this injury.

Kim Do-young's face is grimacing as if he felt pain while handling Yoon Dong-hee's ground ball.
KIA and Kim Do-young also want to cry. With his sensational performance last year, he suddenly emerged as the best superstar in the league. This year, the keen attention was on whether Kim Do-young would be able to join the 40-homer and 40-homer club. But the hamstring is ruining everything. This is the third hamstring injury this year alone. In the opening game, he injured his left side with a grade 1, came back hard, but the second time he hurt his right hamstring even worse with a grade 2.

Hamstrings are very likely to recur if they do not heal properly and return. KIA is also in a hurry, but it gave Kim Do-young time to recover and return perfectly. But what's wrong with this. After more than two months, he returned and played only three games, and is closed again.




It is necessary for clubs and players to check in-depth whether it is a natural problem of muscles or whether there is a problem with exercise methods that only Kim Do-young often suffers from hamstring injuries. Problems repeated left-right-left should also be analyzed. Carefully protect and protect the area where you were injured just before, because the load can be concentrated on the other side. If you keep being held back by your hamstring like this, it will be difficult for even Kim Do-young, who has emerged as the league's best superstar, to keep the position.
